I'm trying to add a custom field to my email template with the type set to URL

 

The available modules to choose from are

Accounts

Conatcts

User

Vendor

Organisation

 

Only fields from  the folloing modules show when added to the email template

Contact

Vendor

Organisation

 

I created the URL custome field under contacts and then added the field to the email

the contents of the field showed

the link was not usable and had to do a cut and paste into the browser

 

What can I do to make this work

a: in the Accounts Module

b: make the link clickable from within the email

 

thanks for your help in advance
