[stylist] Question for Peter

Sat Jan 28 02:20:36 UTC 2012

Hi,
Oh true, line breaks are an issue; they have caused urls not to work before.

Ashley,
I agree that it isn't that big of a deal, but it does take extra time, which
some don't have. Also, there  is also the issue of the times when something
inserts a line break and then when you paste it into IE's Open dialog, it
doesn't work right. It's a bother to go through long URLs one character at a
time to see if there's a line break somewhere and/or to confirm that the
entire thing made it to the Open dialog.

Hi,
If the link won't work in an email, I just copy and paste it in. Why is that

such a big deal? I mean its just two extra keystrokes!

Hi Dave,
Please don't feel defensive. I'm just trying to figure this out. I'm hoping
you can tell me what other settings to check. I use Outlook 2003, and under
tools/options/e-mail format/, the "Compose in this format" combo box is set
to html. I'm really not sure where else to look.

I've experimented with other e-mails, and the ones that show up as html
documents have live links, while the ones like Stylist that show up as text
documents read like their live when Jaws encounters them, but they don't
work. I tried saving one as html, but it doesn't show up as a choice. Jaws
reads links in .doc format like they're live too, but they aren't.

I tried again to enter the link at the bottom of your e-mail, and although
Jaws says "link," entering on it doesn't work. Also, when I use "u" to go to
next unvisited link, nothing happens.

Sorry for the trouble; I just want to be able to go to the links people post
and want them to be able to go to the ones I post without copying and
pasting and removing line breaks.
Thanks,
Donna

Well, at the risk of sounding defensive -- I have not changed any
settings for the list that would impact the content, or footer.  The
links in the footer in my mail program are appearing as links.

Check your local settings.
