    How do u create a hyperlink in an email
    I want to make a link in the body of an email , hotmail or Yahoo etc..
    When I write www.etc it doesn't automatically become a link. I want the person who gets the email to be able to simply click on the link and go to the page I want him to c. thanks

    You may have to use the http:// rather than just a straight www. Depending upon the email program. If you are using Windows Live mail, Outlook Express or Outlook you can type something like: Sally's Website then highlight it and click the little 'world' on the taskbar (usually the second last icon). That will open up a box for you to input the actual url of the website.

    Some web based email programs don't allow linking due to the dangers of phishing and viruses. In that case, the person on the receiving end can just cut or copy it and paste it into the address bar.

    Hope this helps...

    Hugs, Didi

    Thanks. I guess you are right gran some mails just don't permit links because I have tried everything and it was always disabled..
