Your email software "points out" links to email addresses and websites 
by recognizing the format of the plain text letters. Then, simply as a 
convenience to you, it will take that bit of text, turn it blue so that 
you see it, and use its own software to allow you to execute the link. 
If you click on it, it will either put it into the browser address 
window for you or compose a new email message to the address you just 
clicked on. The original message can be plain text.  None of the 
messages you receive from Rovernet will be in HTML format. Your reply to 
Rovernet must be plain text or the Rovernet server will ignore it.
