Either MailMessage or Outlook removes my protocol-link

[M O J O]

Hi,

I'm trying to send this HTML using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage...

From myHtml variable.....

<br>
<a href='URL:myprotocol'>click here</a>
<br>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I send it with this code...
Dim mail As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
Dim smtp As System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient = New
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("myhost")

With mail
.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(fromEmail, fromName)
.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(toEmail, toName))
.Subject = subject
.Body = myHtml
.IsBodyHtml = True
.Priority = priority
End With

With smtp
.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentia ls
.Send(mail)
End With

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

But when I receives the mail, the link has changed to this...

<br>
<a>click here</a>
<br>

The href part is missing.
I don't know if it's Dotnet or Outlook.

Any idea??

Thanks!
