Hi Evonne,
The plain or html setting should make absolutely no difference to the way
the links are written in the program.
Your second example, as far as I know, will only appear clickable in AOL. In
Outlook Express, all links are automatically highlighted. As long as if you
are putting the links in brackets you don't write them like this -
(www.siteria.net) - where in mine it is still clickable, but some email
programs do not like other characters touching the web address, then you
should be fine.
