Just an observation for Matt:
I am using MS Outlook Express 5 and <http:...> does not show up as a link,
neither does <ftp:...>.
However:
<URL:...>
<news:...>
and mailto:...
do show up as links.
One day every browser and newsreader will behave well, and we will look upon
these days and laugh... right? :)
Build On!

| (...) Oh really? If I recall correctly (which I may not) someone checked and an earlier version (?) of Outlook recognized <http:...> but broke with <URL:...>. What fun. (24 years ago, 15-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
