This is because Mail.app in X does not really send HTML mail, only enriched mail. The program is smart enough to recognize most Web and e-mail addresses, and it highlights them when displayed even when they aren't highlighted in the original mail. So, if you send an e-mail with a Web address like <http://www.apple.com> in your text, Mail.app will make it look like a live link, even though it isn't. If you want to send bona fide HTML mail, use a mailer like Mozilla. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be February 24.
