Non-http URL (dgd://xxx) not clickable in Entourage 2008 (2004 ver

[cmarkle]

Our product will send you HTML emails with our own type of URL that looks
like dgd://blahblahblah. In Entourage in Mac Office 2004, those non-http URLs
are underlined and clickable. But in Entourage in Mac Office 2008, these
types of links are no longer clickable. It is much more convenient to our
customers if they are clickable, else they have to cut and paste these into
our application. (Wouldn't be so bad if they were never clickable, but
Entourage from Office 2004 set the precedence so here we are ).

Is anyone aware of a way to make these non-http links clickable in Entourage
circa 2008, either through configuration of Entrouage/Office/Mac OS X or
perhaps in the way we render the link in the original html email.

I know there's lots of commentary in forums on entering links in Entourage -
this is different in that it deals with noticing non-http links in mail being
displayed by Entourage and making such a link clickable in the Entourage
application.

Thanks in advance!

Try command-click. Does that work?

Are they registered Internet URLs or a private scheme?
