Hovering over a link does show the web address in the status bar area if the status bar is enabled. I find many people don't have the status bar displayed. Displaying the status bar will enable people to see the address for the link. The one advantage of Outlook is the link is shown as a texttip next to the hyperlink making it more obvious. But if people are aware they can check the status bar that is a good option too.<br /><br />I've also found with the iPhone that if you press and hold on the link you'll see another screen on the iPhone which shows most of the address at the top and this can be a handy way to check the link as well.<br /><br />KelvinKelvin Eldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865583396682424015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050592403310530587.post-77479187176061947532012-01-07T04:23:33.262+11:002012-01-07T04:23:33.262+11:00Hi.

I use Facebook mainly to keep up with my relatives in Western Australia. I am in England and am married to Karen, who just happens to come from Goole, which is about 15 miles from the real Doncaster, in Yorkshire. It's a small world. <br />(I must get back to my real world problem - enabling database access to a Microsoft SQL Server instance from a Windows 7 prof. client from my C++ program.)Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14936368144264693569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050592403310530587.post-23511179471199922632011-12-10T23:57:17.561+11:002011-12-10T23:57:17.561+11:00"Because I use Outlook I can hover over the l..."Because I use Outlook I can hover over the link and see where the link will take me if I click on it. Some free email services such as Gmail don't let users see the information for the destination of the hyperlink."<br /><br />When I hover over a link in Gmail (or any webpage for that matter), my browser displays the full URL in the status line. If I were to use Outlook or any other thick email client to check my Gmail, I would get a similar benefit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
