A method processes a hyperlink formatted message to make it compatible with an alphanumeric messaging device (118) that lacks hyperlink decoding capability. The hyperlink formatted message includes at least one hyperlink having tags, a hyperlink identifier, and a resource locator. The method, which is used in a messaging controller of a messaging system (100) that communicates with a plurality of alphanumeric messaging devices, replaces (210) all occurrences of a first character within the hyperlink formatted message with a second displayable character, marks (220) each hyperlink identifier within the hyperlink formatted message using the first displayable character, removes (225) the tags and resource locator of each of the at least one hyperlink, and stores (227) the resource locator of each of the at least one hyperlink in association with the hyperlink identifier.
