Is there any way to remove an e-mail hyperlink in OE6?

I'm trying to make an e-mail address plain text. Underline is NOT checked. I
have selected the text, checked and unchecked it a dozen times. I've clicked
on FormatPlain Text and back to Rich Text. Then back to Plain Text. Then
back to Rich Text. Then changed the font, then changed it back. Then selected
the text and unchecked underline. Then underlined again and deselected
underlining. Well, you get the idea.

I was able to change the font from blue to black, but still can't remove the
underline no matter what I do. Any ideas?

No way to do that without munging the address. Eg: Instead of
you would have to make it: JoeatSpam.zip, or leave a space: Joe@ Spam.zip.

Or, you could take a screenshot of the address and insert it into the
message body. Can't think of any other way.

Needless to say, you would have to inform the recipient of the change.

I tried putting it in quotes and OE removed the quotes and inserted the
hyperlink. G

Select the link, delete it, backspace once, and retype in the link.

Or if in OE, click View; Source Edit and there you can go in and edit out
the link. Source Edit is only available when writing a mail or replying.

Of course, anything with an @ is going to turn back into a link; so replace
@ with AT and the dot with DOT.

That's how it works and how it's designed to work.
If you don't want it to show as a link, munge it somehow.
If you think it not being a link will help security in any way, it will not.
