[nfbcs] Thunderbird Email and Hyperlinks in Email Messages

[Curtis Chong]

Jeanine:

Yes, I can do that, but if the link is imbedded in the text of the message, you don't really have access to the raw URL address<smile>. Any way around that problem?

Thanks.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi Curtis, I don’t know how helpful this will be, but have you tried simply copying the URL and then pasting it into the address bar of fire fox? I don’t use Thunderbird, but I have seen this behavior a timer to and other email applications and that’s how I get around it. Hope this helps.
