Hello,

I am trying to create an email signature with a link to a YouTube video. I want to give the link a name and ultimately will be passing this on to someone to use from their email client (they will be using Outlook Express or webmail).

I have worked on the assumption that the following command should act as a link. Though when I send out of Mail (testing plain and rich text versions) the link is seen exactly as below and not just the highlighted text.

Has anybody else come across this kind of problem?

Thanks,
Phil

Mail doesn't support HTML in composing.

Just use the part in the quotes (ie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v+LBVug-GVLg0) and it will be a clickable link when the sender receives it.
