Message entry tricks

I was interested to find out that enclosing a URL in angle brackets will turn it into a link. (e.g. <http://www.google.com>). I have been using the longhand HTML tags for any special text functions I've needed. Are there any other handy tricks?

For a reference on HTML tags, I'd take a look at http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/htmlguid/contents.htm. However, I recommend restricting oneself to the Text Characteristics and Anchors and Links tags. (To do an image requires that you have access to a web server to put the image on, and that in turn means that you generally have to know what an IMG tag is and how it works.)

That's the only shorthand one. It works for any url type (mailto:,nntp:,ftp:, etc). The <a href= gets prepended, a > along with the string enclosed in the bracket is repeated, and a </a> is appended.
