[Ham-Computers] Clicking On A Link

[Mike]

Quite often the email program will wrap a long link onto multiple lines and break it. 
A copy and paste (be careful to get it all) into the browser address bar will work in 
that case.

If line wrap was the case, I'm betting not all lines had the underline that denotes a 
link.

HTH,
