Windows Live Mail can not copy hyperlinks from one e-mail to another.

Hey all.

Long story short, I am writing this for my mother who current runs a dog boarding business as well as various other e-mail accounts, ranging from fan clubs to personal ones. She has a draft e-mail saved which contains information and links she would COPY and PASTE into e-mails prior to sending them. Essentially, these are signatures. No matter which signature she copies and pastes, each one has at least one weblink.

As of yesterday, when copying and pasting that information, the link does not copy with the text. Instead of pasting the text as a hyperlink, like she has been able to, it simply shows the text without any clickable option.

I have double checked the options, Read all messages in plain text is unticked, as well as the Mail Sending Format and News Sending Formation both being set to HTML.

Can anyone help please?

Thank you.

    What happens if I uninstall IE 11?

    You can't - it's integrated into W8.1.

    Sorry to be so long getting back to you.

    Hi

    No problem with IE as I don't use it.  My problem, well documented above, is that I can no longer cut and paste text from Word docs into WLM without losing hyperlinks.  Firedog thinks this may be due to some underlying IE code (used in the proces), which was released with Win 8.1.  I can provide further examples if you wish or give you control of my laptop so you can try it yourself.

    Regards

    Chris

    ... copying from the web always defaults to Times New Roman, 12, when pasted.

    If you copy only part of a web page, it is most likely that the font style definitions are somewhere else - at the top of the page or in a separate CSS file. The default of Times New Roman 12 is, I think, hard-coded into the program.
