Add hyperlink to signature

E

Ed Henninger

In help file, it shows me how to add picture, sound, etc...but not a
hyperlink.

I now it's doable but can't find it. Can someone show me how to do this?

Thanks.

Hi Ed,
I've just tried adding a hyperlink to a signature, and it should work if you
include the "http://" prefix, since most e-mail clients will be able to
recognize this as a hyperlink.

If you mean display text that "hides" the URL, you can do that with my free
script "Make Hyperlinks X" from

Thanks for the advice. I went with Michel's approach because it is easier
for me.

Stu, coming from a satisfied customer, Paul's script allows you to take
those long, sometimes incomprehensible URLs (like
http://www.blahblahblah.132984893.djiejfklxu.9387572.di9833d90.html, for
example) and convert them to a link that contains any word you choose. This
makes it easier for recipients to read their mail and click the links.

So, instead of that long URL stuck in between "You can see the article at
[long URL]", your email text would say, for example, "You can see the
article here." (where "here" is a reference link that takes the user to that
URL).

The only caveat to using it is that once you click OK to run the script and
convert the long URL to whatever words/phrase you want, the email's gone.
No more editing. So you have to do this LAST, i.e., just before you send
it.

Note also that hovering over the "alias" word/phrase will indicate the full
URL in the info section at the very bottom of the open message, so the user
can still actually see to which place they're being redirected if they click
on it.

Does that make it clear?

Brilliant and cool. I'm not sure if I've a need for it, as I've never sent
a url that was very long (I use tinyurl if it's crazy long, but that only
happens once a month or so).
