When auto URL detection is on, Microsoft Rich Edit is constantly checking typed text for a valid URL. Rich Edit recognizes URLs that start with these prefixes:

• http:
• file:
• mailto:
• ftp:
• https:
• gopher:
• nntp:
• prospero:
• telnet:
• news:
• wais:
• outlook:

Rich Edit also recognizes standard path names that start with \\\. When Rich Edit locates a URL, it changes the URL text color, underlines the text, and notifies the client using EN_LINK.
