This is really confusing. I did another test using this message: http://www.fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx?i=114164 There is a URL near the beginning of the message (http://gagocoutinho.wordpress.com) that does not show as a link in Firefox or in Internet Explorer but comes up as a link when reading my email with Firefox, just like with the previous test. But now, contrary to the first test, it does come up as a link in Thunderbird! Also, at the bottom of the message there is a link to the file I had attached and this comes up as a link in both Firefox and Internet Explorer so, in the same message, on URL comes up as a link and on doesn't! gl On 10/24/2010 10:17 PM, Greg R. wrote: >> Don't be so pompous.
