[nfbcs] Thunderbird Email and Hyperlinks in Email Messages

[Christopher Chaltain]

You could cut out a step by just tabbing to the link and then using the 
context menu and the copy link location option. this will paste the 
underlying URL into the clipboard so you could paste it into the 
location bar of the browser or anywhere else for that matter.

>> 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.
