I think you are confusing the results you want. You can attach URLs all day
long.... "http://www.foo.org/first/page/index.html"
What I think you want is in-line HTML. In order to do that, you need to
format the mail headers to tell the mail client its an HTML mail, then you
need to give the mail client the HTML they will render.
e.g. email header...
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html;
e.g body of email...
[x-html]
[!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"]
[HTML]
[HEAD]
[/HEAD]
[BODY]
blah blah blah
[/BODY]
[/HTML]
