    dont know about live, but with msn messenger 7.5 any thing starting in 'http://' or 'www.' autmatically becomes a link, wouldn't have thought they'd get rid of that in the new version.

    you can't the feature was never available because it's an excellent way of hiding "pishing" links

    Or if you're lazy - use the [insert hyperlink] button at the top of the window when you're typing your reply and use the wizard there.

    the only way you could mask the url is to use a site such as www.tinyurl.com
