If you're sending as text, it's up to the email client to show that email address as a link or not (control's out of your hands as text). Sending as HTML will ensure that _almost_ everyone sees it as a link, but there are some who have their clients set to block HTML. -- John C.

The mail client is probably turning the URL into a link because it begins with http://. If you want the email address to be a link then you might consider sending html emails and form the link yourself. Some folks detest html emails, while others use plugins to make URLs become links in text emails. You're really at the mercy of the recipient email client. *shrug* -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
