...and "paste" the URL "you want" as an Attachment to the e-mail!

Netscape actually does a "poor job" of showing what your outgoing message really "looks like"

To actually "See" what your e-mail "looks like" ..., Look in your Mail Window, Mail Folder, Sent Folder.

In your Mail Window you can scroll down to see the entire page.
