Signature hyperlink display

Guest

I am using Outlook 2000. I want to create a signature that contains a
mailto: hyperlink. Advanced edit opens the signature file in Word 2000. I
add my name with a hyperlink of mailto:[email protected] In Word it displays
my name as Lyle and it is underlined and blue, so far so good. When I save
this and return to Outlook Signature Picker it displays as Lyle
<mailto:[email protected]> How do I hide the <mailto:[email protected]> part?
It did not display it in word, but in outlook it does.

Yes I know that this is how you create a hyperlink in the signature. When I
try to use it, it displays as "Lyle <mailto:[email protected]>" on the email.
This whole thing is a hyperlink. What I want it to display as is "Lyle" and
have that be a hyperlink... Any more ideas???

Thanks

My screens look different. But this is not the issue. I know how to create
the hyperlink for the email address. And it works when I do create it. What
I want to change is how it looks on the email. I am using Outlook 2000.
When I create the signature it looks like this:

Lyle Murray <mailto:[email protected]>

This works, but I don't want it to look like that.
I want it to look like this:

Lyle Murray

and still be a hyperlink. If I do this on a PC with Outlook 2003 it works
just like I want it to, but in Outlook 2000 it doesn't display right. The
email I sent you has screen shots of what my screens look like.
