Adding URL in e-mails

Thu Sep 6 23:48:43 EDT 2001

Hi Patel,

You may want to try using

<HTML><BODY>
<A HREF="http://40.1.132.253/RightSite/getcontent?DMW_OBJECTID=0900f23180008942&DMW_DOCBASE=p2pdevus&sap_docnum=DCTM3700F23180000100"</A>
</BODY></HTML>

or you may want to explore the program RSWUWFML.

I have used it in sending URLs to external mails.

Ta!
