 Putting a link in an email - Dave
I want to put a link in the shippping confirmation email I send to customers. Theres a specific page on DHL's site, but if I copy and paste it's very long.

So how do I just put for example 'click HERE to track your parcel' with the HERE being the link? Also, how do I store that link for insertion in future emails? Using Outlook express, by the way.

I can't show you on here, the site filter blocks the HTML code!
Will send the code by email in about an hour or so

...or try this:

IIRC you can set OE to send emails as plain text - you can only send links 'as is' (with the address spelt out, not hidden in 'here' or whatever) if it is.

Send it as a TINYurl link derived from the tracking page:

tinyurl.com/

You would have to redo each link because a new tracking page would be a different URL.

Clicking on the link will open the tracking page in a browser window.
