Hey, guys - quick question - when you post links in your replies here, how do you 'mask' them so something like:

And does it work in e-mails as well? Thanks!

Not doing it exactly the vB way can cause problems if you post more than one URL i.e. you <i>need</i> to include those quotemarks to be "safe"!
