Re: set different colors for different link types

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your suggestion.  However, I would prefer not to clutter the 
text with repeating the protocol there.  Also, the example I gave is mainly 
for illustration, in the way I use it, the description would not show the 
filename, but some other text.
