When you insert a URL in Outlook Express at least, it just uses an A tag to
format the URL as a link.
The url should still be included in the text.

eg...

> <A HREF="http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/ajlloyd">
> http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/ajlloyd</A>

Strip the tags off that and you're still left with the URL.
It would only cause problems if you wanted to use a Click Here type link
where the text of the link wasn't the same as the URL address.

Does majordomo allow you to call a command line program to filter messages ?
Rick ?...
