Entourage does not, and requires the 'http://'. I would assume Outlook Express requires the 'http://', as well. It's worth noting that virtually all browsers of even 'vintage' status will recognize any URL that doesn't have an 'http://', even on Windows. Both IE and Netscape, on both platforms, have allowed you to just type the hostname (and path, if necessary) for ages upon ages. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
