Travis, you would rather copy and paste the url than just click on it.
The whole Idea of posting an html link in this group is because its not
a binary group. I say html away doug, especially if its harmelss.
If being able to click on links in news messages is important to someone,
there are many news clients that upon seeing a link in a plain text message
will make that link clickable. If not, cutting and pasting is not rocket
science. Posting a pageful of html tags just to communicate a one line
message is a waste, and will result in the message being ignored by people.
An ignored message communicates nothing.
BTW... Doug, in OE, go to Tools, Options Send. You can uncheck the box
for replying to messages in the format that they were sent. Many people get
the default posting method at the bottom of that tab right, but they miss
that checkbox in the middle of the page. Or if you don't want to uncheck it
(because it'll also affect e-mail), pulling down the Format menu on the
reply message allows you to remove the html, and post in plain text.
