Broken links when sending email to outlook

[Matsaki]

When I send email from Mail.app or Airmail to my client that uses Windows and outlook, the links I send him is broken, and not clickable. He has to copy and paste the link/URL.

Somebody knows whats going on?

Thanks!

You should enclose your link in brackets like this: <http://www.nowhere.com/nothing/>

Ok I will try that. But why can't Outlook communicate correctly with Mail.app nor Airmail? Meaning making a link a link!

Because it is a windows/MicroSoft program. Not all apps can smoothly translate with each other.

You can add a link by using Command, K or go to the Edit menu and select Add Link.

We don't know that it can't. The "problem" may not be at either the sender or recipient end of your email communication, but the networks between them. Base-level email is 7-bit ASCII. If your message passes through a 7-bit ASCII server, then your message will lose many of the nice features that we have come to expect in today's email.

Ok I start to understand. Because if I get a working link from a Windows user, and just copy/paste the link, it will be a workable link also for my client.

I guess it has some code that I just can't see.
