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?
Messages arrive as HTML. In the message preview window of SM, with
the message displayed, I see a sentence, with 2 words underlined, and
hovering over that changes the cursor as expected for a hyperlink.
But clicking does nothing, and I do not see the expected URL of the
link in the status bar at the bottom of the SM mail window. If I view
the message source (Ctrl-U), I can find the section which includes the
on-screen text.
In one email, the on-screen text is followed by what appears to be an
index "[1]" which you don't see on the HTML render. Other items have
similar but different indexes next to them, and there is a "Links:"
section to the doc, with those same links defined. The first such
link includes the URL that I should be referred to by the hyperlink.
From the source, here's part of the message just after the routing and
AV status messages from the header:
...

Wordy, but it explains what I'm seeing (or not). Ideas?
In this case, it seems clear that the sender is to blame. They're using
footnotes and putting the URLs in the notes, not hyperlinking them in
the body text.
OK Paul, can you decipher the other one I had this with? Here's the
beginning of the html area after the mail headers:
"--=_cb8726f93e1fb726332572ff60596c58
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
--=_cb8726f93e1fb726332572ff60596c58
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable"
That was followed by a lot of formatting and content, leading to the
code below. On-screen was a green rectangle with the words 'Renew Now'
centered. That link also didn't work. In the code below was a URL
which included a token specifically for me to access my account at
AVG--I've removed that part of the URL, but the 'Renew Now' is in the
last section of text quoted.

Does this suggest anything?
