Please. No HTML especially in a non binary group.

Wake up. That is not HTML, it is a URL. They are certainly
appropriate in any group.

You may know Rhododendrons but you can't tell a HTML message when you see
one. Idiot.

When responding to your message, I clicked Format, Plain Text. Does this
look like HTML?

Now, here's a link:
www.llbean.com

Let me know if that link looks clickable to you.

You may have seen an almost ordinary looking message (which is another
reason the HTML was more pointless), but people who don't have HTML
turned-on in their newsreaders (and they shouldn't have to) saw something
like what's below. (I disabled some of the tag in a hope that you can see
it, too.)

My newsreader doesn't have HTML and all I saw was a URL. No gibberish.

I'm pretty sure I have the Mophead variety. I'm in St. Louis, MO. I pruned
the old wood in the spring, and most of it was dead.
Testing my soil sounds like a good idea.

This is your problem. The old wood is not dead. It is where all your
flower buds are located. You won't get any flowers. You can't prune
the old wood and expect flowers.

Hydrangeas do not need to be pruned. However, if you insist:

For mophead and oak leaf hydrangeas you need wait until the new foliage
comes out in the spring. Then only dead wood should be removed. After
the plants are at least 4 years old, about 1/3 of the older stems can be
removed down to the ground each summer. This will revitalize the plant.
In addition, if it becomes necessary to prune a plant to reduce its
size, it may be cut back in June or July without harming the next year's
bloom.

"Now it isn't...", or did you mean "No it isn't" ? My options say I'm
sending all news messages in plain text. What exactly is your issue here,
IDIOT?

It's clickable here in Agent 2.0, which is set for plain text.
However, it does recognize the www as a URL.

Just as I thought. Everything's fine. Travis was just having a PMS day.

Actually, the fact that most people saw a clickable link in your plain text
message shows that Travis was right. There was no point in sending an HTML
message just because a url was being included. Most clients will make a url
clickable even in a plain text message. A pageful of HTML mark-up was
unnecessary.
