How do it hide an internet link with another name in Microsoft outlook.
I'm trying to trick my buddy into clicking on the Rick Rolled link that we keep sending back and forth to each other and he knows the link by now. I want to embed the link in a "CLICK HERE" or something. :D
How?

How?There are lots of versions of Outlook and Outlook Express so this may not work for yours...
Anyway, here's an example way to do it:
Type something in the message like "Click here for hot naked coeds." Then, select (highlight) the word "here" then click "Insert, Hyperlink" You can then type the sneaky URL in the dialog that pops up but your buddy will just see the word "here" underlined as a hyperlink.
Good luck! :)

Your email needs to be HTML for this to work. If it is Rich/Plain Text it won't work. You can change that in Tools, Options, Mail Format tab.

If the guy is sending plain text emails, then of course the concept of a hyperlink is moot and he might want to resort to other pranking methods. :)

I believe in karma and you will get yours in due time. :D
I haven't Rick rolled a lot of people, but my list is long and distinguished. HokeySon, Hazard, RicheyRich, Holy Moly and a couple others. It's like Rick rolling the Queen of England when you get Holy Moly. :D

How?
Which HTTP address are you using. If you have been using the "internetisseriousbusiness" address, you could use the link that SWB used on you or you can use this one...(you will be rick rolled if you click that link).
