-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I must be missing something here. When I create an email with outlook with http://www.cybertrion.com<sp> and then arrow back to in front of cybertrion and enter http://www.foo-labs.info my url ends up looking like http://www.http://www.foo-labs.infocybertrion.com and that is what get's sent and received by the recipient. I'm apparently not doing this correctly or maybe it's in the way you have your Outlook editing set up.
