Do you think maybe a newline could be added to the end of it? :)

The only reason I ask is, because it ends with a URL, Outlook
considers any mouse click in the white space below it to be a click
ON that line itself! (thus causing IE to launch and navigate to that
URL).

Yeah, yeah, I don't want to hear about using Outlook or IE. No need
to start an off-topic flame war here.

It's just that I personally view my emails (from lists/people that I
trust!) using OL's "Preview Pane", and whenever a very short email is
being viewed, there's a lot of whitespace following the footer (about
1/2 a screen worth), and clicking *anywhere* in that white space
(blank area) of the screen causes OL to think I clicked on the link!
(thereby causing IE to launch as I explained. Stupid I know, but
that's Outlook for you. <shrug>)

Now I realize it's not exactly kosher to be asking the list to make a
change for the sake of just one person, BUT....

I rather suspect given the number of people likely subscribed to this
list (a LOT I'm guessing!) that I am probably NOT the *only* one
experiencing this issue (but readily admit I have no way of knowing
that; it's just a "gut feeling" guess).

Anyway, that's it.

Sorry to use so many words for such a small an insignificant request.

Thanks for everything you folks do and please keep up the good work.
:)




p.s. Why does every HTML email that comes across the list have the
footer included as an ATTACHMENT? What's up with THAT?! :)
