HELP! I am trying to add a live web link to my email signature in Mac OS X. I have read the online help and two reference books and can't find out how to do it. Has anyone out there broken the code? If so, I'd love to know about it. Thanks.

Well, I asked the same question a couple of month ago, but nobody could give me an answer.
Maybe now?
Cheers,

I just tried it and it works in Panther (mail v 1.3.3) Make a signature just as you normally would and when you type your web link (www.------) it will be a clickable link. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thanks, this already worked out in Jaguar if I am not wrong.
What I mean is a kind of "hidden" link.
I do not want the reader to see the whole address like
http://www.apple.com

but rather something like this:

Apple
Thanks,

I don't think Apple's Mail app. supports using that sort of code. (whatever it's called /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif)

A bit late but has Tiger & Mail 2.0 fixed this?

I refuse to use HTML mail, but Mail.app in Tiger supports I believe. I'm not sure about how it works with the signatures.

I also don't want to send html mail. The only html mail I send is the yearly X-mas card via .mac.
But I sometimes would like to send long web addresses, which can get easily broken with some mail programs, and I also don't want to use shorlify all the time.
But I found it: Highlight the word/ phrase you'd like to link, then go to Edit -> Add Hyperlink and fill in the necessary information.
Now I only hope this works with all mail clients...
