Thunderbird not highlighting hyperlink in message from Windows 10 Mail app...
I was invited to a Zoom meeting from a friend who uses the Windows 10 Mail app. When I view the message the hyperlink is not highlighted in Thunderbird 68.6.0 and clicking on the address does nothing. I have to copy the URL and paste it into my browser. The message body coding follows:

I have received Zoom invitations from other mail clients and the hyperlinks work fine. I assume there's something in the coding that Thunderbird doesn't understand.
Thanks!

The coding got rendered when I pasted it in my question and I'm looking for a way to attach a text file which contains it but can only see how to attach image files.
This is a problem with many mobile mail apps, including the W10 desktop Mail app: links that are entered directly aren't clickable in TB unless View/Message Body As is Plain Text. They are clickable if the sender embeds the link in text like this. I don't know how other mail programs handle these links, but I suggest you ask your friend to embed links in text.
