In Bridge mode I can not access "links" sent to me via email. I can from my Torch and desk top.....I s this going to be a future update?

If it is a clickable link then it should open when clicked. If a single tap doesn't work, try a quick double tap. You may have to try several times.

If the URL is just text and not a clickable link, then tapping it is going to do nothing.

I don't know why some URL's are not clickable on the PlayBook. On the BlackBerry handset I would change the email to text only and the URLs would become clickable. But no such option on the PlayBook.

aiharkness is correct.

I experimented the other day after being unable to click ( almost pounded on the darn link) on what I thought was a link I had sent myself, I went back and found another email from a friend. The link in the second email was clickable. I looked them over and compared the two.

The link I had sent myself (from TheBat email program) was PURE TEXT. It looked like a link but it was not blue - therefore, not clickable. The one from the friend would highlight in blue and was clickable. Explored further and found that I was using TEXT mode when composing my email. I changed to html mode and resent the email and the link was live/clickable.

So it will depend on how the email you receive was composed. Some programs/folks prefer straight text - that way no hidden links (virus/malware) will result. But the "http://www.xyz.com" will merely be unclickable text. You will have to manually copy/paste to use the link.

And, yes, the same email and link that was UNclickable on the PB was fully clickable on my 9650/Bold. So the pb and bb phones work differently.

Edited to add: It would be nice if a MODERATOR gave this thread a more specific title - "Email links in Bridged Messages" or something similar.
