[opensuse] Click-able URL, howto
If I email an interesting URL to an interesting party they sometimes seem to have a problem with the URL because it is not click-able. Ctrl C, Ctrl V works of course in order to copy and paste, even in Win as I found out on my wife’s computer. But there must be a more elegant way to provide an URL. How could I make e.g. following URL click-able? http://software.opensuse.org/122/en -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 12.3 Beta 1 (i586) Kernel: 3.7.2-1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.9.98) 15:46pm up 2:56, 3 users, load average: 1.74, 1.21, 1.14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The URL is clickable for me because kmail recognizes it as a URL and allows me to click on it. I think it is a problem with the mail client on the receiving end, they should use something sensible Unless of course you want to start sending HTML emails, and have <a href=> style links (but please don't do that, convince people to use functional email clients instead) Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

URLs are just text that the email app recogizes as a URL. As an example I'll just type in www.opensuse.org and see what happens. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yep it works. I clicked on the link and no problems at all. This is with Seamonkey. In the received messages, where I just typed in the URL text, I now see a URL, as expected. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It works better with the "http://" part. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Email client with a little imagination, like Claws Mail, will assume that www.opensuse.org is a link, unlike opensuse.org , which will need help of http:// as in http://opensuse.org . -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It depends on the receivers software, not how you send it.

In my wifes case it is e.g. Thunderbird (stil Windows) and there it is not clickable.

I use Thunderbird & Seamonkey and your link is clickable on both. I wonder if there's some setting in Thunderbird that might have been changed, so that links don't work. I have often sent links without problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It already is for me just the way it is in SeaMonkey, just as it is in other smart email apps.

A variation on this ... If I visit a web site in my browser (firefox) that has clickable likes I can click though on those URLS. Nothing surprising here, that's how its supposed to work. If I save that page and return later opening the saved file I can still click though on those links. There are variations on this if I use wget to save a site and have the links reformatted locally ... but never mind. Now suppose instead of just saving to a file and having to save all the relevant download - css, images - I use the 'print to file' mechanism I see in CUPs when I invoke the print. Would you expect that the resulting PDF would have clickable links? Based on past experience - and yes I still have the files like that around - I do so expect. But recently it hasn't been working. The fidls in the PDF aren't clickable. What has changed? Oh, right, I keep updating software. Is this print function done on my local machine rather than a loop-back to the CUPS daemon on my print server (which is also my mail server but never mind that...) -- If you keep your mind sufficiently open, people will throw a lot of rubbish into it. --William Orton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is clickable. Tried thunderbird and Alpine - so the problem is in your mail client. It is also customary to enclose the url inside these type of brackets "<>" wich should serve to avoid wraping and easier detection of the whole as a link. <http://software.opensuse.org/122/en> - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
