Entering Web addresses in a post

[Guest]

Hi,
I am using IE6 to read and post to the MS newsgroups. How to I enter a web
address as a link in a post, or can I only do this if I use Outlook Express?
The addresses I enter are in plain text.

I honestly don't know anything about the web interface. Using the web
interface is the worst way you could access these groups. Since you
are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is really a
newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to
use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you
can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are some links
to information about newsgroups.
