How do I create a hyperlink in an email?

What I am trying to do is insert a link with text, like this: link

How would I do it in Yahoo Mail or Hotmail?

If it does not automatically parse (turn into a link) the hyperlinks inserted textually, such as Outlook does, you would typ

<a href=“www.yahoo.com”>link</a>

In Hotmail, make sure you have switched Rich Text Editor mode on (under the Tools menu of the New Message screen). A toolbar appears at the top of the message including one called Insert Link (hover your mouse over the tools if you can’t see which button you need, but it looks like a web page with a chain link laid over it).

Now type the word “Link” into your message and highlight it.

Next, click the Insert Link button and a box appears enabling you to enter the address for the target of your required link. Click OK to continue and your message will contain the link you want.

If you don’t highlight any text in your message the hyperlink will just be entered in the regular address syntax and will be parsed automatically.
