Try this, do a control + click (right click with a 2 button mouse) in the body of the new message then choose 'Edit Link' in the contextual menu. Now type or paste the URL in the box and and click ok, it will insert the it as an active link which you can try out before sending the message.

Hello WAMUGgers,

You used to be able to check hypertext links in an email before sending it. You could save the email as a 'Draft' & then click on the web link to check it was correct.

In Mail v2.0.2 & Tiger OSX10.4.2   I am unable to do this.
Is there anyway to do this please?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for this tip. I couldn't get it to work at first until I realised you have to actually 'Highlight' the link first, then control click, choose 'Edit Link', type the URL & click OK.

Still wish I could check the links in 'Draft' like I used to.
Also, I want the 'Status' bar back, I don't like having to manually open the Activity Viewer.
Other than this I like everything in Tiger.

Cheers,
Ronni
