How do you insert a link in an email?

[pixelplumber]

How do you insert a link into an email message composed with html in the webclient? I;ve tried just pasting the URL, writing in the a tags, there doesn't seem to be an insert link button or anything like that.

I've looked through the webclient help, and tried searching the forums with terms like insert, anchor, link, html etc but I havn't been able to find an answer hence the thread.

Having said that I've got a hand ready to slap my forehead if I;ve missed somthing really obvious

Cheers.

Just paste it in...Zimbra converts it to a clickable link (send one to yourself and see)

turns out I didn't have the com_zimbra_url zimlet enabled in that COS

thanks.

Is there a way to compose links with titles so that the link appears like this instead of Google? I see that you can copy a link from a browser or other source of rendered HTML and it can be pasted to achieve this effect, but is there a syntax to create this in the Zimbra HTML composer?

I haven't found a way to do that either. The zimlet mentioned above will parse the URL into links but there doesn't seem to be a way to insert an <a> tag as such with a href and alternate title text.
