[X4U] Clickable URL's and addresses in emails

[Brett Conlon]

Hi all,

My mum is sending out a basic email newsletter for her reborning doll 
business but wants the URL's and her email address to be clickable to 
users with HTML mail clients.

I told her that most clients will simply recognise a URL and a 
mailto:address and make them clickable but she tells me that a number of 
people don't receive them as clickable items and want her to make it 
possible in her newsletters.

Accounting for the fact that they may not have correct clients or their 
settings are incorrect I'm also interested in what is required to take 
this to the next step.

The below "mailto" adds the property of a subject line and I stole the URL 
link code from out of an email I recently received. I'd like to show her 
how to basically set up some simple HTML to allow her to have a clickable 
link say one thing, "For the latest sales click here", and it takes them 
to a URL.

I clearly don't have enough knowledge to write a small HTML block to 
achieve this.  Do you have to have special email clients or HTML mailout 
applications to be able to set this up and email in HTML? She's using 
Microsloth Entourage and I'm on Lupis Notes.
