In Thunderbird, I've created an HTML signature using <a> elements around URLs:

<a href="https://yesik.it">http://yesik.it</a>

When I send a message using this signature, it is displayed as expected if the recipient is viewing the message as HTML. But if it views the TEXT version of the message, the URL appear twice:

http://yesik.it <https://yesik.it>

I'm pretty sure I once used a "-moz-XXX" class with the <a> element to avoid that behavior. But I can't find the reference to that anywhere. Or is there some other solution?

I've found my issue. The HTML to TXT converter didn't catch the link and the link text to be the same thing ... because I didn't use the same protocol (it's a typo, a missing "s" replaced "https" by "http")

Concerning the second part of my question, Thunderbirds supports indeed a couple of magic class used for the TXT<-->HTML conversion of links:
