Ahh, ok then.  Since I use a web based email, ie
Yahoo, all the links are actually hyperlinks so I
don't have to cut and paste.  Because of that, I
didn't realize that other mail clients don't do that
automatically.  Next time I'll include some info and a
link.

Also, thanks Chuck for the info about the WaveLan
card.  My main goal with getting the card was really
just to setup a wireless internet access point just
for one other computer, my Mac PowerBook, which has an
airport extreme card in it.  From what I read, it
seems feasible, but I do have a question about setting
it up. Would it be possible to setup the card in
ad-hoc mode, since I only need it to communicate with
one device and only need it in a short range?  This
would also add a benefit of some security since it
reduces range and only allows one device.

Thanks for the help!
J Silverman
