URLs vs. Attachments
Jeff, I never try to send as an attachment...In fact, my Windows 98 allows me to send two ways, Send Page or Send URL. What happens is that the site that I am sending, sometimes will send the document as an attachment....I have no choice in the matter...I don't even know it has happened.... It is the way the site itself is set up ON THEIR END... I can Send Page but most people don't want that much text...in some cases, the site won't let me do that either so then my only other option is to Select ALL, Copy, Close, Compose Message, Paste and make a new document from that text... Sorry...but there isn't anything I can do... I guess you'll just have to delete these attachments if they make you uncomfortable... They happen to me as well...a friend of mine in particular sends me jokes all the time that come through as attachments... Sorry! Blondielou
Hi; What I do when I refer a website to a friend via e-mail is to go to the page, highlight the URL across the top of the browser window, press Control and C, then go to the e-mail (or post, if it's to a newsgroup) and press Control and V. That pastes the URL into the body of the message and when it arrives at its destination, all they have to do is click on it because it becomes an active link. Attachments can add considerably to the size of a message and because overseas readers often pay for local telephone calls by the minute, this costs them money. Also, as more and more viruses appear, people are increasingly worried about attachments. I think the method I described above should work for you. If it doesn't, perhaps you could let me know and I'll see if I can figure out why not. Cheers! Jeff
