I don't really understand what your problem is with the first one. 
It's quite a common convention in plain-text emails where, unlike 
HTML, there is no formatting to turn arbitrary words into a link to a 
URL - the full URL has to be included as part of the text. Rather than 
include long URLs within the main text, which might make the it 
difficult to read, the sender has included the URLs at the bottom like 
numbered footnotes. The numbers in square brackets within the text 
refer you, the reader, to the corresponding footnote to find the URL. 
That's just a convention for human readability; there's no magic 
formatting in plain text which would turn the words next to the 
reference into a link to the URL.


What are you expecting to happen that's not happening? Or what's 
happening that you're not expecting?


The OP has said these are HTML messages (and he posted relevant code 
excerpts), so the normal expectation is for the display text to be 
hyperlinked to the URLs. In that case, the display text is what the 
reader sees, and the URL, no matter how long, is not visible. His 
complaint was that the hyperlinks don't work -- he mouses over and the 
cursor changes shape as it should, but nothing appears in the SM status 
bar and nothing happens when he clicks.


If you want more, read the thread as most people who want to help will do.


I have read the thread. I explained the issue with the second example he 
gave, which I can reproduce (some extra spaces at the beginning of the 
URL seem to prevent the link from working).


The message source provided for the first example started "Content-Type: 
text/plain" and did not include any HTML formatting - so looks like a 
plain-text email to me. Maybe that email also has an HTML part, in which 
case my guess would be that it's the same issue - but that's only a 
guess since as far as I can see looking back over the thread we haven't 
actually seen the HTML part of that message.

In the "href=" part, there are a couple of spaces between the opening 
quote and the start of the URL. A quick experiment sending myself an 
email with:

   http://www.example.com/;>Click Here
has exactly the effect you describe - the text is recognised as a link 
(blue underline and cursor changes to a hand), but the URL is not 
recognised (not shown in the status bar, and clicking has no effect). 
Note that I had to manually craft that email, since inserting a link 
SeaMonkey's HTML mail editor strips the extra spaces from the href!


An HTML document with the same link opened in SeaMonkey's browser works 
fine, and clicking it leads to .


The HTML5 specification [1] says that the value of the href attribute 
must be "a valid URL potentially surrounded by spaces". I haven't found 
a clear statement in specs for earlier HTML versions.


Although the unnecessary presence of those spaces in the href is a bit 
odd, it appears they shouldn't strictly cause any problem so the fact 
they do may be a bug in SeaMonkey mail (which isn't present in the 
browser). The difference in behaviour between mail and browser does seem 
a bit odd, as I thought they used the same rendering engine, so perhaps 
this is intentional for some reason.


Possibly related to bug 680352, in that whatever blocks links without a 
protocol might also block links with the leading spaces (since the link 
doesn't start with a protocol). That may well be intentional as a 
security protection, since a link to "www.example.com" actually 
references a file relative to the email, not "http://www.example.com;!

Makes perfect sense, syntax is everything in text-based media.  That 
explains the second email, don't suppose you have any insights for the 
first one I described, with [x] references called out in the html code?

No ad blocker in SM.  That's why I'm surprised this is happening at all.

anything when clicked.  The cursor does change when hovering so the

Most of the time email links are a no-no, but 2 have been legitimate

anything.


Nothing obvious in Preferences, and shutting my AV completely off had 
no effect.

I have the same behavior with the message in the preview pane, or opened 
in its own window, and none of those links works.


The second part of the message is a Base64-graphic which appears to be 
the background graphic everything else is laid down on.


A previous message from another source had a small on-screen green 
rectangle with enbedded text as another hyperlink.  The layout of the 
message source was nowhere near as described above, but the URL was 
clearly available in the source, and did resolve/render when I pasted it 
into my browser address bar.  I can't copy that link because it was 
against my existing AVG account.


Wordy, but it explains what I'm seeing (or not).  Ideas?

Have recently noticed that hyperlinks in received messages don't show 
URL info at the bottom of the current window, and also don't do anything 
when clicked.  The cursor does change when hovering so the link is 
recognized, it's just not acted on.  If I use 'Copy link location' and 
then try to paste that, there's nothing to paste.


Most of the time email links are a no-no, but 2 have been legitimate 
(one from my AV supplier, one from my ISP) and both failed to do anything.


Nothing obvious in Preferences, and shutting my AV completely off had no 
effect.


Are you saying that SeaMonkey is not recognizing and activating URLs in 
plain-text messages, or that your senders are formatting URLs as plain 
text in HTML messages?


For example, if I write http://www.example.com, does it remain plain 
text, or does SM recognize and activate it as a clickable link?
