As there seems to be a javascript catching the link and displaying this, I’m not sure how to get round this. Any suggestions (is there a “right way” to achieve what I’m looking for?)<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks and regards<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Richard<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:gray;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">--<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:gray;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Richard Rogers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:gray;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Principal IT Officer, Client Technology and Applications<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:gray;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Information Services, Staffordshire University<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:gray;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Tel. 01785-353785<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>ZendTo mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:ZendTo@zend.to">ZendTo@zend.to</a></span><br><span><a href="http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/zendto">http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/zendto</a></span></div></blockquote></body></html>
