Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 229025

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Internal links created to anchors or headings do not appear as links in the compose window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new mail message.
2. Create a named anchor.
3. Create a link to the anchor by going to Insert > Link.  The linked text does not matter.  However, because of bug #317363, we must key in the anchor name (for example, #anchor) rather than select it from the drop-down list.  Click OK.

Actual Results:  
The link to the anchor does not show as being a link.  That is, the linked text appears but one cannot tell by looking at it that it has a link.  Double-clicking the text, however, will bring up the link properties window.

Expected Results:  
The linked text should look the same as an external hyperlink, that is, underlined blue text by default.

This appears to be a dupe of bug 229025.

Agreed, and sorry for the oversight.  However, bug #229025, which has been open for almost two years, is currently assigned to "Seth Spitzer (not reading bugmail)".  Does anyone know how to request that that bug be reassigned?
