I've been trying to create a live web link in email, both in Apple Mail and Entourage (MS Office X). I've looked at some HTML tutorials, and seen the underlying code when I receive a link like this: (I can't put in the code, since that will ensure that my message gets bounced again).
What's visible is something like "Click Here" and the underlying code is a specific lengthy URL. The specific coding is something I got off of a good HTML tutorial (and works on the web, but not so far in email). But whenever I send an email with code like this, the actual code is visible (both for me in Mail and Entourage, even with View HTML enabled) and for other recipients. I use Mail almost exclusively, but I set up my account information in Entourage so I could try it out. In Entourage, I set up outgoing mail to be HTML. I even tried using open and close html tags in Mail, but it had no effect.
When others send me a link with this type of code, it shows up properly for me in Mail (i.e., all you see is "Click Here" but clicking takes me to the correct web page in Safari). This is even true when people have copied what I wrote and sent it back to me.
Someone else using Outlook Express said there's a button you can use to create links like this. Rather than download yet another email program I don't want to use (and would have to use in Classic), is there any way to accomplish this in Mail or Entourage?
Thanks!
