Default Showing Hyperlinks in EMail Mail Merges

Hello... I'm currently trying to send an email mail merge in Outlook 2002,
everything works well, and I can create a 'Hyperlink' to a website in the
mail merge document, but when I send the emails out... the hyperlink has been
dropped, just leaving the text e.g. www.test.com... which can't be 'clicked'
on..

any ideas what I may be doing wrong??? format is HTML message, although have
tried plain text as well...

Are you up to date on service packs? I think this issue was fixed in =
Service Pack 2.
