I sometimes receive messages where the url is not displayed in blue as clickable. Here's an example. Other email clients like Outlook show it as clickable. Any ideas how to fix this problem? Thanks. - Mark

If you view the source (Ctrl+U), can you identify the sender's mail client? Links sent from some mobile mail apps are often non-clickable if they are not embedded in text, like this, rather than entered directly.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately there is nothing in the source which shows what generated the email (see bottom of this reply) I'm guessing someone cut and paste from a message they created, in a program that generated email message. See below for some of the source of the text. It looks weird when compared to other emails that have Content headers. I guess Thunderbird can't deal with this, but somehow all other email clients are ok with. - Mark
