The mystery of the coloured links or hypertext is not something to
worry about. Each e-mail package handles it automatically in its own
way. For example the version of Pegasus mail I'm using puts URLs in
green (and it can be turned off) but doesn't have active e-mail
addresses.

My advise is just type your addresses and the software will do the
rest.  By the way, I don't find the hypertext greatly useful because
I don't read my mail on line. However it does make the addresses
stand out.

Cheers,
Jenny
