286823 - hyperlinks don't always show

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Bob]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: thunderbird 1.0

How come there are many times when a HYPERLINK is not associated with an HTTP
address in Thunderbird? I have received an email, it had Hyperlinks to web
sites, and it worked fine when I clicked on them. I then forward this to my
wifes account m from Lotus Notes (UGH!), and when she received the file, the
hyperlink was missing. She had something like HTTP://WWWW.SOMEPLACE.COM, but
could not click on it. I'm sure it's because of Notes that the link is gone, but
Thunderbird should recognize HTTP://WWW.SOMEPLACE.COM as a web site, and
automatically make it a hyperlink. Outlook does.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.receive an email w/ www.xxx.yyy in it, and no hyperlink.
2.
3.

this bug is INVALID it is not about Thunderbird.

Thunderbird recognizes hyperlinks and gives the user the opportunity to open it
with your browser. However, it does not actually change the plain/text email
into an html email with a link. If you need this functionality in Lotus Notes
ask the Lotus Notes developers.

I marked it INVALID, since it is a feature request for Lotus Notes
