Hi...

So through my work I send a lot of links within my emails, either to other web pages (such as my own) or links to things like Dropbox folders... I have now come to realise that once received, sometimes these links show as blue clickable text that redirects to the specified location or sometimes they just appear as standard text, which then has to be copied and pasted into the address bar by the recipient and does not come across as very professional. It appears that Thunderbird has a mind of it's own as to which way it will display the link at the other end... Why is this and how can I be sure the link is always 'blue and clickable'? Thanks

Umm, the way it is displayed "at the other end" is also a function of the recipient's email client. Most email clients and browsers will automatically "linkify" anything found in an incoming message or on a website that looks like an URI, but some have more restricted options than others. And on websites, the site's own software can interfere too. ISTR the last time I posted an ftp link here , it wasn't "linkified" because the ftp:// protocol isn't in its repertoire of URI candidates. But as in Thunderbird, you can manually insert and format a link for yourself.

I know that Thunderbird has some level of automated linkification in outgoing messages, which may be failing you in some instances. But you can, in HTML composition mode, use Insert|Link and force its hand. You get to enter the URI itself and also the clickable text.
