Updated to latest Thunderbird a couple of days ago and have discovered an issue with inserting a URL in a message. Previous editions it was simple to highlight a word or phase then from the menu select Insert or edit an existing link. Now with version 31.0 the paste option come up with the grayed out statement "No named anchors or headings in this page." It now takes several steps to get around it.

Solution?

I'm using 31.0 .

I highlight some text in a new Write message eg: link to my website Insert > link

If I right click in the 'link Location' area and select 'paste', I see the same message that you describe. If I put cursor in 'Link location' area and use 'Ctrl+V' then the url is inserted. So this second method works for me.

There is also another work around:

  • highlight text in a new Write message eg: link to my website
  • Insert > link
  • type anything (even a single character eg: 'X') into the Link Location field.
  • click on the 'Advanced Edit' button in that same window.

In the Advanced Property Editor window select the 'HTML Attributes' tab if not already selected.

  • Click/select/highlight the new link you just created

Under 'Attribue' it will say 'href' Adjacent under Value , it will show what you typed into the Link Location field even if just a letter eg: 'X'

At the bottom right locate 'Value', it will also show 'X'

  • highlight 'X' and right click and select 'paste'
  • Click OK to close Advanced Editor
  • click OK to insert link

Thanks Toad-Hall About the time I got your message I had used the Ctrl+V to insert my link. They do have a new "bug" that needs to be addressed.
