Therefore something like "http://xxx.yyy.zzz" won't be shown as an underlined and clickable link. Only when one does an explicit insert of a link, this piece of linktext is treated as a link. Outlook solves this by transforming the text into an url when enter is pressed right after the url I think. I'd like a similar way to quickly insert links. Reproducible: Always
