You can create anchors in a message, which act like links within larger documents.  When a reader clicks on an anchor link, they are taken to the anchor spot in the document.  This is often seen with internal anchors such as top, which takes you to the top of the message. A user clicking on a top link would be taken to the anchor named top at the top of the message.
