How do I make word(s) in my email into a hypertext link to a web site - esp one with a looong URL?

Write the text you want and then look in your e-mail tools there should be a small icon with a small world and a chain. That麓s the hyperlink button. so just click on it and it will tell you to put the URL you want. and once you click accept your text will be in blue. And that麓s it :)
