E mail help with coding please!

When I want to create a link on the web I use the following format:
{url=http://.....................}text{/url} with straight[] brackets instead of these{}. Only the text shows up for the link. I tried to do this for an email and it didn't work. How can I accomplish the same thing in an email.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

That doesn't work normally in e-mail - it only works in forums like this one, that use the phpBB software for running the forum. The syntax with the square brackets is called BBCode.

How to do it in an e-mail, depends on the e-mail software you're using. In Microsoft Outlook for example (which I'm using), if I type in http://... it automatically changes it into a clickable hyperlink. What e-mail software are you using?

You would need to send the email as real html and format it like this



<a href="http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php" >CANON DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY FORUMS </a>


Which would look like this

CANON DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY FORUMS (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php)

Is this what You mean?

What Tommy said.

Many email programs allow you to specify the format of outgoing mail. Outlook, for instance, allows Plain Text, Rich Text (which has some formatting), or HTML. Eudora has something similar - maybe not called Rich Text but it's similar.

You can embed images using the syntax: <img src="http://www.somehere.com/image.jpg">

A page on basic HTML may help if you wish to do more.
