Navlist messages come to me as emails, using Outlook Express. Before New Year, nearly every Navlist message reaching me me via NavList@fer3.com seems to have carried carried the following postscript at the bottom- NavList message boards: www.fer3.com/arc Or post by email to: NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList+@fer3.com in which the underlined addresses are shown as links, and a click on them took me straight to the destination. However, a few, such as one posted on 22 Dec to NavList@fer3.com, arrived as- NavList message boards: www.fer3.com/arc Or post by email to: NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList+@fer3.com in which the addresses were not links, for some reason. Until New Year, that is. At New Year, the postscript, for messages sent to me via Navlist@fer3.com changed to- ---------------------------------------------------------------- NavList message boards and member settings: www.fer3.com/NavList Members may optionally receive posts by email. To cancel email delivery, send a message to NoMail[at]fer3.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- in which nothing was actually a link, or marked as such. Instead, it was necessary to cut and paste the address into a browser. whereas of those sent via Navlist@fer3.com , some have the following postscript- > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > NavList message boards and member settings: www.fer3.com/NavList > Members may optionally receive posts by email. > To cancel email delivery, send a message to NoMail[at]fer3.com > ---------------------------------------------------------------- in which www.fer3.com/NavList is highlighted, and works, as a link. and for some reason, some others sent via Navlist@fer3.com have no such postscript at all. I offer no explanation, nor do I seek one. This is no more than an observation, that something funny is going on with the marking of links, as links or not-links. Just in case it has a connection with the curious behaviour mentioned by Gary.
