Links Dont Work From My E-Mails

[trt]

When I send a link of an article of interest to my family or friends the link they receive has to be copied and pasted for it to work, unlike when I receive a link its usually in blue and I just have to click on it.

Any ideas folks?

What email package are you using?

Ok, next questions, presumably you access the Hotmail service via a Web Browser? If that is the case, which web browser are you using?

Does the Hotmail 'create message' window have any options such as 'Insert Hyperlink'? If so, try using that to add the link. I believe that when you access Hotmail via http://www.hotmail.co.uk the actual web address changes to a Microsoft Live.com address and that mail window does have the 'Insert Hyperlink' option

If using Internet Explorer you could try downloading and installing a different browser such as Opera or Firefox and check if that works or not:

http://www.opera.com/ or http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

A small point (but one which is sometimes overlooked):
Are you sure that you're sending the full URLs, including the http bit?

For example, if I type www.bbc.co.uk here, it won't be clickable but if I insert http://www.bbc.co.uk you can click on it.
