Can anyone advise me how to include more than one url link in an e-mail message. please try and keep it simple (senior citzen)
tks

are you using Mail? if so, all you need to do is copy he urls into your email. I usually add a Return (sometimes two) between the urls to differentiate them.

http://

if they aren't showing as links (blue) you can try adding < and > around the url, I believe that makes them clickable to the receiver of the email.

<http://>

Not all email clients display a URL as a clickable link before the message containing it is sent, but may do so when it's received. This applies to (a.o.) Entourage. It may not hurt to add carets to the URL, but it may not help either.

Also note that there is a difference between dragging the URL from a browser's address bar to your email, and copying & pasting it there. The former looks like a hyperlink, the latter like a regular URL. You may prefer the latter for its clarity, although both should work equally well.

Assuming you are using Mail there is an alternative to posting the URL visibly in a message. You can create "hotlinked" words or phrases by:

1. Selecting (highlighting) the word or phrase you wish to attach the link to
2. On the menu bar select Edit > Link > Add...
3. If prompted to make the make the message Rich Text click on the "Convert" button
4. Type or paste the URL you want to assign to the selected word or phrase

You can link as many words in a message as you wish, AFIK there is no upper limit to the number.

Other mail clients offer the same capability, but I don't know specifically how to implement the links.

I just noticed an easy way to add urls to emails. Open a new email, then switch to safari and browse to the url. Then drag the little icon that's to the left of the url up top in the address bar, into the email. Switch back to mail and hit return etc and get ready for the next one. Switch back to safari and browse to the next location, and repeat.

Clickable links on web pages can also be dragged into emails, and they retain their descriptors instead of just showing the raw html too. Slick.

well, there you go! even better!!

tks joemikeb..it works..and tia to all that have will post in the future

Great post. Never knew that was there.

I know your question is about more than one link, but another way if you ever want to do a single link while in Safari go to the File Menu and click on Mail Link to this Page (Command Shift I) and it will open Mail and apply the info

OT sorry but that avatar just screams for gif animation with a deathstar firing theme....

The links I send others in mail 1.3.11 are never clickable...

Do you include the full URL? (with http:// or https:// at the beginning)

Yes. It's always been a problem. I run Panther and it never worked right.

try putting < and > around the url. e.g. <http://...>

Whether or not a link is clickable when it is received on another machine is usually a function of the email client on the other machine failing to recognize the URL as being clickable and independent of the sending email client. In other words the problem is unlikely to be resolved at your end. But Roger's suggestion may help some older clients identify the element as clickable.

...your post. I tried it on another forum site. It worked!

No such luck. Rats!
