Showing Hyperlinks in EMail Mail Merges

[Guest]

Hello... I'm currently trying to send an email mail merge in Outlook 2002,
everything works well, and I can create a 'Hyperlink' to a website in the
mail merge document, but when I send the emails out... the hyperlink has been
dropped, just leaving the text e.g. www.test.com... which can't be 'clicked'
on..

any ideas what I may be doing wrong??? format is HTML message, although have
tried plain text as well...

Are you up to date on service packs? I think this issue was fixed in Service Pack 2.

Sue, excuse my ignorance do you mean service pack for XP Prof?

If so then yes... 5.1.2600 service pack 2

5.1.2600? That's not an Outlook version number.

I was referring to Office XP Service Pack 2.
