Does anyone know how to insert HTML in mail messages? All I know is that if you type a URL, it will automatically become a clickable URL. But what if you want to make a word clickable so that it goes to a URL?

you dont specify which mail software.
with some you can just type the address from www. and with some others you need to start from the beginning from http://www.
you also might need to turn on html for this to work with some mail programs. then, all you do is associate the single word in yr message with this url.
thnx

You're right, I didn't specify which mail program--must have been tired last night. I mean Apple's OS X Mail program. Apparently you have no control over the HTML you generate, so you can make text clickable if it's a URL, but you can't control which text the link displays.

It's similar to the way this BB will automatically parse URLs, but Mail lacks the functionality of the Insert Link function.
