(In Entourage and some other Mac newsreaders, no copying or pasting is
necessary - just click the hyperlink. You'll know if that will work if you
seen the entire URL, from start to finish over the 3 lines, blue and
underlined. For many Mac apps, you can ensure it will work by putting the
URL within <angle arrows>. That, to my surprise, didn't even seem be
necessary for Entourage 2004. And it won't work in Windows apps.)

Like this:

In Entourage, if you hit a dead but valid lick, command-click it. That
always works.
