1897855 - Zoom video conference meeting links are non-functional

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 920560

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[SN]

🔵 It is common practice in commercial & educational scenarios to issue Zoom meeting invites by e-mail.
🔵 However, some e-mail clients omit the <href> attribute during message composition.
🔵 When this occurs, it is not possible for the recipient to join a meeting by clicking the link.
🔵 Only Thunderbird users are affected -- these links work correctly in Apple & Microsoft mail clients.

In broken invites, message source is structured like this:

<div class="default-style"> Join Zoom Meeting <br>
	https://us01web.zoom.us/j/12345678901?pwd=1234aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ.1
</div>

---

In working invites, message source is structured like this:

 <div class=3D"default-style"> Join Zoom Meeting <br>
	<a class=3D"moz-txt-link-freetext" href=3D"https://us01web.zoom.us/j/12345678901?pwd=1234aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ.1">
	https://us01web.zoom.us/j/12345678901?pwd=1234aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ.1</a>
 </div>

This bug report is an intentional duplicate of bug 680352 [2011] & bug 920560 [2013] with a different title to cover the large number of Zoom users who are affected by this issue [ > 300 million per day ].
