[FARC] Hyperlinks Not Working?

[Kirk Talbott]

Roger Bob, some guys told me they got the hyperlinks ok, others couldn't, even I couldn't from my own E-mail.  Since some can and some can't, I'll stop using them.  No sense tiptoeing through a minefield.  

HTTP: \\ WWW DOT SOMETHING DOT COM will work unless it's a really long URL!!

  Kirk,

  I don't think the reflector has anything against hyperlinks as such.  
  Their software may filter *certain* links that are on some spam list or 
  otherwise deemed objectionable by whoever set it up, but in general, 
  hyperlinks can get through unscathed.

  The surest way for anyone wanting to post a hyperlink to the list is to 
  simply type in the link, starting with the usual  http://etc<http://etc/>.  Of 
  course, some links are very long and gibberish-like, and if you commit a 
  typo, the link won't be any good to anyone either. 

  So if you prefer or are forced to do a copy-and-paste, be careful to 
  copy only the link, and not a bunch of HTML with the link buried in it 
  somewhere.  The reflector software *does* reject a lot of (but not all) 
  HTML.

  Check to see if your browser and email programs support a right-click on 
  a link to do a "copy link location" (or words to that effect).  This 
  approach copies only the link to the Windows clipboard, dropping off any 
  extraneous HTML, and allows you to paste the link only into an email to 
  the FARC reflector.  This should work (most of the time).
