Question about AIM hyperlinks

[boydcake]

I recently switched to Mac and noticed that the hyperlink button is no longer present in AIM. I prefer to rename links rather than post the often lengthy urls in messages and buddy info. I tried to get around the absence of the hyperlink button by manually inserting the HTML to create a link but this does not work either.

It seems strange that this feature is not supported. Can anyone explain a way to rename links in AIM on a Mac that I am unaware of or is it actually not possible?

Thanks for any help!

How very fastidious.

Drag and drop the link from Safari into the IM window, rename to taste.
