    It is up to the receiving email program to convert a URL to a clickable link. Yahoo does not do it. You can create an HTML link if you are using rich text in the email. Type the link, a string of words such as "click here", or nothing. If you typed something then select it. Click the "insert link" icon in the heading and enter the address. It is now a link anywhere as long as the person receiving it does not block HTML mail.

    possibly not doing it right. Try this. Left click on the URL to highlight it then right click and from the drop down menu left click on copy then go to where you want to put the URL, right click and from the drop down menu left click paste then double space.

    Many websites and email client programs are still designed for the Stone Age. AOL is one.
