By "live link" do you mean an embedded link in an HTML email? That's in
any case banned from the Klarinet list which will only accept plain text
messages. I don't understand why a URL in the latter should be
considered dangerous. Unlike HTML email, it's just text, and it's the
email software which sees a series of ASCII characters beginning
"http://" and translates that into a link.

Sorry I implied forgetfulness on your part. You're right, of course,
but it's nicer just to be able to point and click on the email. :-)
