I'd like to insert a hyperlink from an email (using newsletter behaviour below) but all I get is the
http:\\www.mywebsitename.com text without the hyperlink. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I've just spent two hours looking for a solution but no luck.

Dear Zooropa,
You would need to add HTML, and the client receiving the message has to have HTML formatting as their default, most Windows clients will auto-format protocol strings to be URLs. If you have your default as text messages only, you just get the text.

Change the "message =" line to:

message = message + "<a href=\"www.mywebsitename.com\">www.mywebsitename.com</a>"

Brent, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I managed to get the link to work usin:

message = message + "<p></p>" + "<a href='www.mynamesite.com'>website</a>"

Note the use of double " and single ' quotation marks.

This creates a link to mynamesite.com when you click on the word "website". Only problem I encountered is if I want to change from "website" to "visit website", the link is lost and it just shows up as plain old text in the email message. Anyone know a way around this? Thanks
