    Hi, everyone!
    I'm with a new problem:
    I received one mail with eight links, at my tablet. But the links don't do anything. The don't react and don't function. But I sent the mail to my smartfone and there they react perfectly.
    Why they don't function in my tablet? What must I do to correct the situation?

    Thank you again for your help and your information.

    There could be a lot of reasons. One is the email is plain text and the email client is not automagically changing them into links. Check for settings in the email client.

    Hi thecoalman. Thanks!
    But my surprise is why that links didn't function in my tablet but after to copy the e-mail from the tablet to the smartphone , in the smartphone they function!

  4. If you copy and paste them into your phone browser and they work, then you will know why they don't function at first. (They were not hot links, just plain text like stated in post #2.)

    "Hot linking" refers to putting an image or some other displayable resource on one site when it's on another site. If for example ou use the image tags here to display and image form another site that is hot linking.

    Getting back to the email they can be formatted with HTML or just plain text. If it's HTML and assuming HTML is not disabled in the email client then it will always be clickable. For plain text the default for most email clients is to identify and make URL's clickable Yours may not be doing that.
