    How can you type a website address in a 7.02 Compose e-mail without it becoming an active link?
    A system I'm trying to send an e-mail to won't allow an active link to pass thru.
    Thanks for your help! SKEET F

    Hi Skeet,

    There's a challenge! I don't know that you can make a hyperlink plain text in email, but there are some workarounds.

    When you copy or type the link, remove the http:// , and have the recipient add this to the beginning of the link.

    OR - use random characters
    $$$$://www.webpage.com
    advising the recipient to replace the random characters with http

    OR - you could right click anywhere on the web page and use the "Save as" to your HD. Zip the page and send it as an attachment. What a PITA tho...

    AFAIK these are your only options.

    Ramona :D
