Ahhhhh but.... Marck, if I have an URL such as the one below and I create a message as html or html/plain then the URL in the html part is not a clickable link (as it is in the plain text version). To make the URL clickable I have to put it in as an html tag... e.g. <a href="http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com";>http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com</a>. If you write html then this is no big deal perhaps, but for your average e-mail user who doesn't do web pages it can and will cause problems huh...? Also a few other things with the html editor.... (1) If you use an html tag with an URL as above it is clickable in the html and the plain text copies, _but_ if you use a text link like this: <a href="http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com";>Bat Forums</a> then it's clickable in the html version but _not_ in the plain text one. And finally... (for now anyhow) - when creating an html/plain message the saving bits of it as attachments when saved as draft message bug has developed a new twist... whilst writing the test messages new html attachments kept appearing alongside the draft message... I ended up with 10 html parts of an e-mail that took me a couple of minutes to type out. Every time I made a change to the message it added a new html attachment with the changed part showing... I took a screenshot of the end result but I don't think I can post it to TBUDL? -- Cheers, Anne Flying high with The Bat! v2.00.6 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 Visit The Bat!
