SYMPTOMS
When you post a new message, reply to, or forward messages in newsgroups in the Outlook Express Newsreader, you are unable to insert a hyperlink using Insert on the Hyperlink menu.



CAUSE
The default news-sending format is plain text, which does not support hyperlinks.



RESOLUTION
To change the sending format, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) Click the Send tab.
 * 3) In the News Sending Format section, click to select HTML, and click OK.

NOTE: You will now be able to insert a hyperlink in a new News message, but not when you either reply or forward mail.
