Share URLs via email

[zillah]

Dear Experts


Sometime I need to share some URLs (news , technologies,,,,tec) via gmail account to friends and co-works.
But what happens when they receive emails and click on the links , those links won't reveal the real topics (wrong web site)!!!

Why this happens ? How can we share links via email ?

Thanks

Are you manually typing these links or copy pasting them from somewhere? Additionally are these URL's ones that require a logon to where you cant get to the destination because a roadblock is the logon requirement?

Then they're goin about it the wrong way...
Try a test email...in the Compose window there is a pic of a link...clik it and copy /paste tour link...you can also add your own title to the link

I am using my gmail and recipients gmail as well, and I have been experiencing this problem long ago not recently

For instance those two below links when I sent them via email ends up showing some other websites

First link should be : costco-wholesale-to-launch-online-store-in-australia-20170818

Second link should be : Foreign-agl-boss-earns-69m-while-households-struggle-with-power-bills

First link takes me to a story. The second link takes me to:

You meant the quote above, as you didn't mention what is the story I tried to clarify it

[Salmon Trout]

We don't care about the story, only the link workings. The first story is open to all, the second one is not.

While via emails both links are not functioning,,,,,,,,,,why is that

[Salmon Trout]

Could be email client used by recipient, or url not correct in email.
