Gmail Tips and Tricks – Hyperlink your Gmail content (Link)

It may seem difficult for you to send links when composing new message in Gmail.

But Gmail automatically recognizes your web links and adds the hyperlink to the correct webpage.

For example if I want to like Blog.consultmirror.com I just need to type the website name in the content box as seen below in the image

When I send this message Gmail will change all the website addresses to hyperlinks as seen below

You can also link any words to any websites when composing

Choose the words that you want to link to any websites and click the hyperlink button on the compose toolbar

You will see a small pop-up window opening like below

Choose if you want to link the website or email address to your content

Enter the website address in the box as shown above, same way enter the email address in the box

Click Ok

Gmail confirms the website link inside your compose box as seen below

You can close this by clicking the X mark, and continue with your message

So this feature is not available in any other email programs. Gmail is faster.

Gmail Tips and Tricks – Make Gmail your default email handler

What is default email client or email handler?

When you click on any email address, normally Outlook express opens or Outlook opens, you can simply type the content and send it.

Instead of using outlook express or Outlook or Thunderbird you can have Gmail handle all the emails for you.

To do this you need to install Gmail notifier which can be downloaded here

You can read my previous post which talks about Gmail Notifier and its functions

Right click on the trey icon and click options

You will get a menu as seen below

Click the check box (Use Gmail for internet Mailto: links) to select Gmail as a default email handler for all your email links.
