For instance, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced& short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=url&product=Thunderbird& long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr& bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=& keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&resolution=DUPLICATE&resolution=--- &emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1& emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailtype2=exact&email2=&bugidtype=include &bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order= Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= The W3C convention http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5.1_Wrappers.html is to put <> around long links <http://mozilla.org>. Thunderbird doesn't recognize this convention, so, long links that start with < wrap, making them un-clickable (and a royal pain for users that have to do multiple cut and paste). Several extensions have tried to solve this (though most of these do several other things too): https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/4514/ https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/132/ https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/403/ https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/1288/ Ideally, multi-line urls would be fully linked, but minimally, multiline links encased in <> should be recognized as a single multiline url. (That > is both the quoting character and the ending character may be a problem, though perhaps one could assume that lines beginning with > would not end the link. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
