All you have to do is type it with the standard URL form:

http://www.whatever.com

It's up to the RECIPIENT's mail program to do the translating. Most
programs now can do this (Pegasus, Outlook, MS Mail, MS Exchange,
and...I think...Eudora Lite and Eudora Pro). I don't know about
Netscape mail. So, Bonnie, the bottom line is that you only need to
supply the address. Beyond that, there is nothing you can do if the
recipient's program can't read it.

Also, if you just type the address as www.whatever.com, very few
programs can read that...they need that "http://"; prefix. Most
programs can also now read email addresses: janeber -at- cyberramp -dot- net -dot-

Hope that helps.
