yahoo interprets http:// when it displays your email and makes it a link for
you. PHP hasn't done anything different for yahoo.
If you want to send html-formatted email, check out Manuel Lemos mail class.
Note: Some email users will automatically filter and discard html-formatted
email, and your message will go unread. Be sure your userbase *wants*
html-formatted email. Anybody who *really* wants to have their email links
light up can just use a client that does it for them (such as yahoo).
