Can someone tell me how to turn off the automatic highlighting of an email

Word 2003 and earlier: Tools > AutoCorrect Options > AutoFormat As You Type

uncheck "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks".

Word 2007: Office button > Word Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options >

Alternatively, to have Word create hyperlinks but keep the formatting the
same as the surrounding text, modify the Hyperlink and FollowedHyperlink
character styles to suit your needs.
