How Do You Send A Link via EMail

I often see links in here my friends would like. How do I copy the link to them in an email so that when they receive my email they just click on the link and it takes them directly to the offer - or can you not do it.

    just go to the address bar on whatever browser you are using, highlight all the link by clicking on it the right mouse click and "Copy"

    create your email then when ready right click again and "paste" and the link should be there :)

    The link will normally only become active (underlined) after pressing the return (enter) key after the line of text if pasting the link into an existing document/e-mail - then just hit the backspace key and it should still be underlined :)
