Hello Thibaut,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.
You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of
Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the
ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for
this particular issue.
Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

Title:
add link to text in new mail is too complicated
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Nowadays links are everywhere.
But in Thunderbird it is very difficult (for average user nearly impossible)
to attach a link to an text area in a new mail. All mail clients I know (except
for Thunderbird) allow the user to hilight text and then click a button to add
a link location easily.
Thunderbird user have currently three posibilities to add a link to a text
area:
- Insert Menu > Link... = to hidden
- CTRL + L = not average user friendly
- The 'media' icon in the compose message window = difficult to recognize
immediately button functionality → to hidden
Plus, the upcoming 'Link Properties' window is too confusing – UI is
unnessesary complicate/cluttered.
Long story short:
Thunderbird needs an easy way to add a link to an text block. Current
implementation is not usable for average users.
Ubuntu is used by millions of people, it can't be that adding links in
the default mail client is that complicated.
PS: I love Thunderbird
