    My son uses Apple, and when he sends me a link, it appears not-clickable in Thunderbird, just plain text.
    Is it normal? Any way around?
    No biggy, but I'm just curious...

    broni,

    Do the links open in OE? I assume that other links received from non-Mac users work?

    Links may not look like links regardless of where they come from, if not entered with, at least, a space after the last word.
    I don't know if this happens only in e-mail, though. There is no problem at this newsgroup.

    I don't use OE.
    All links not originated from Mac look, and work fine.
    Surely enough, if I forward that Mac mail to myself, the link is clickable.

    Mail must have been sent from a certain e-mail client. Do you know which one?

    In this case, it was sent from Yahoo mail.

    I tried to send a link to another address of mine, using Yahoo website mail, and was unable to send link. Yahoo demanded that it was a file, and not an address.
    I have Yahoo mail set up in TB, but I use my ISP as SMTP, and the link is clickable if I send the e-mail.
    The link is clickable in my ISP mail.
