All --

Please help.

I am creating some custom Workflows with SharePoint Designer.

The primary action of the Workflow is to send an email.

In the body text of the email, I have text that defines a URL, such as
either of these...

https://www.XyzSite.net/Shared%20Documents/Review.aspx

https://www.XyzSite.net/Shared Documents/Review.aspx

...but, unfortunately, when the email is read in Outlook 2003, the link in
the body of the email is not clickable.

How can it be made to be clickable?

Is there a special format that I can use such at

Note that Outlook 2003 reports the email format as "HTML".

Please advise.

Thank you.

The answer is to just use HTML.

In the SharePoint Designer Workflow builder, in the email body editor, just
put a standard anchor tag, such as this code...


...and when that email is recieved and read in Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007,
the text "ClickHere" will be clickable.

HTH.

Thank you.
