Hyperlink code appears in emails

[Andreww]

Hi - I am trying to create an email newsletter to send out to my
customers.

I create the newsletter in word (XP) then copy in to outlook (XP) and
send to myself to test.

The newsletter has links in it both to other places within the
newsletter (by way of bookmarks) and to links on my website.

The main problem is that the hyperlink code appears in the newsletter!

It's actually worse if I read it in Thunderbird... all sorts of basic
refs to files on my C:\ drive appear in the email.

I also tried creating the newsletter using Frontpage 2002 with same
result.

Does anyone have any ideas about where I am going wrong?

Cheers

Andrew

how are you creating the hyperlinks?

if the problem also happens when you use FrontPage, something is converting
the code to plain text.

Have created Hyperlinks in Word and also the bookmarks for the
hyperlinks to refer to inside the doc. The hyperlinks for external
refs also appear in the newsletter as html code.

What COULD cause this to happen.

Thanks

The answer is to send as HTML not RTF!

What a palava!
