[FARC] Hyperlinks Not Working?

[Kirk Talbott]

With hyperlinks in E-mails in general, I use the highlight and COPY function with the mouse right out of the browser window
and then use the PASTE function to put the hyperlink into an E-mail.  This avoids errors in typing.  Been doing
this with E-mails for years in MSN and with other Internet providers with no problems. 

What I see MSN or the FARC reflector doing, I don't know which for sure, is adding additional HTML "gibberish" to the end of the hyperlink and I don't know what this is or why it is there.  This only happens when I use the FARC E-mail reflector.

But it's ok,  I don't need to use hyperlinks.

  Kirk,
  the last hyperlink didn't have the entire URL (it was missing the "www").  It worked for me anyway, but may not for some people who's browser may be more restrictive.  If that isn't the problem, then It's beyond my knowledge (which wouldn't be all that much anyway)

  Regards,
  Lou
