Chad,

| Thanks Jan--

| May have seemed obvious, but I thought by definition that a hyperlink is in
| HTML and I'll have to clear this up for myself.

For HTML in a web browser, yes.


| I also thought in general
| with OE and OL, that whatever format you used would only be viewed if the
| recipient has format enough to view it--and I know RTF has a different
| meaning in OL and OE.
|
| This is a different question and technically one in OE but if you embed a
| graphic into the text of OE won't the recipient have to have HTML activated
| to view the picture. If they don't when they receive it and read directions
| to activate it will they be able to see the picture?


For MS Outlook (Express|) - not the same behaviour.


I use MS Outlook Express (in "minimal" mode) only as a news-reader.

I would never use it for eMails.

I observe how it behaves, but I have no interest in its inner workings.
(However, David does know.)

| Chad,
| In Outlook Express, in TEXT-mode, all hyperlinks are clickable.
