No, this is a misunderstanding. "HTML" means hypertext markup language, the coding used for (most) web pages (and "HTML email"). "HTML" and "blue underline" are not the same thing: if you send an email in plain text, and write a full web address (including the http:// ) such as http://imaginatorium.org ... then most mail readers recognise this as a web address, and make it clickable (one way or another). But it's not html: the html coding for a link looks like: <a href="http://imaginatorium.org";>Best site on the web!</a> > I had never heard that html was dangerous in and of itself. It isn't, really. It's the fatal combination of HTML and Micro$oft. Brian Chandler ---------------- geo://Sano.Japan.Planet_3 Jigsaw puzzles from Japan at: http://imaginatorium.org/shop/
