How is the done?
Many thanks... Steve

Just type it in. Unfortunately Netscape doesn't show you the link in
your outgoing message but the recipient will see it if their software
handles links. To test, send yourself a message and you will see that
the links are there.

http:// as in http://name-of-web-site
news: as in news:name-of-newsgroup
@ sign as in userID@domain-name for an email address

[posted and emailed]

Hope this helps,

Hi, Barbara,

For Email, should use.....

mailto:use...@domain.com for a link to email....... @ sign by itself
doesn't show up as a link....

You're right. Netscape doesn't recognize just the @ sign as a link.
I'm using Agent, which does. Sorry about that.
