Answer 1

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<a href=\"%@\">LINK NAME HERE</a>", myURL];

Add this line to your HTML mail.

The easiest way is to make the UILabel into a UIButton, style it (use Custom type to get rid of button look). Then connect to an Action that opens safari.

The action should do this:

NSURL *url = [[[ NSURL alloc ] initWithString: @"http://www.example.com" ] autorelease]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
