    Hello All,

    Curious what settings must be in place on the compose page of the Communicate Module in order to have a link rendered as a hyperlink - just like in Apple Mail -  and not a straight up

    http://...et cetera…


    Also, and this is important, is there any hope of a basic WYSIWYG editor or at least a text formatting panel (much like the one in the publish page) for the Communicate Module?

    This would be a huge help.

    Thank you.

    Hi cacampbell,

    If you change the option for email in the Communicate view from “Plain Text” to “HTML” you can send formatted text and links such as:

    <b>This would be bold</b>
    and <a href="http://example.com">this would be a link</a>

    Unfortunately, the WISYWIG options aren’t available in the Communicate area, but that sounds like an excellent Feature Request!

    Thanks!
