WF Email - URL content not hidden

Hi Sherie, Tom, thank you.
Tom, we are not an outlook shop, but I appreciate the hints... I can
change my mail settings to send HTML, but it doesn't seem to matter for
incoming email. There's nothing I can find to send in to the task which
can alter this.
Sherie, yes, I've tried that. No joy.
The email is being generated by SELFITEM SENDTASKDESCRIPTION, and the
task description, as you've guessed, is where I am pulling in the URL as
an attribute of the Business Object. In SOST, the URL with the HTML tag
looks great, but after it gets sent out (to our non-outlook email
client) it's back to plain gobbledy-gook...
That is why I pulled this old message out of the archives to check with
the wizards and wizardesses of workflow.
The attached doc shows the description in the editor, in SOST, and then,
finally, when it arrives in my email.
Any help, as always, is appreciated.
