[dba-Tech] Thunderbird Question

Yea, what Bryan said :o)

It takes a bit of trust. But on the positive side it doesn't double the
intended hyperlink like Outlook does when you compose in html and then send
to a plain text recipient.

Rocky,

For a link to be active on your end does not mean it will be an active link
on the receivers end. Most modern e-mail clients will make the link active
on the receiving end though.

When I put a URL in an e-mail (ie http://cbc.ca ) it is not active when I an
typing it in. However, when I get it back it *will* be a clickable link.
It's just a function of the e-mail client.

If it is keyed in correctly, I wouldn't worry about it being active on your
end.

My non-Thunderbird using $0.02 worth  :)
