Great, thanks for looking into this issue!  I'm looking forward to seeing the 
post on the bug tracker.

I've been conditioned by years on the web to identify "special color + 
underline" as meaning "link".  Can you make it do that?  Bonus if the special 
color is that bluish link color we're all used to.

If not, I strongly prefer links to be identified by the ugly red boxes, over 
not being identified at all (mouse-over cursor doesn't count as an 
identification).

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
