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.

    Hear hear ! !

     So true !

    I am getting sick and tired of the meaningless, useless, and now what I now regard as insulting canned answers such as - - -

    "Thank you for all your replies and we appreciate all the information that you've provided. I've already escalated this issue to our Support Escalation Engineer. We will update this thread once we have a resolution or information regarding this".

    I have yet to see an update or resolution.

    I apologize for my negativity, but Apple is looking better all the time.

    Microsoft - please please open your eyes to what is going on.

    This is only one of many issues driving what used to be loyal followers insane.

    Seriously,

    Tom

    Why has it taken you 6 months to become aware of this very irritating problem?

    It hasn't. She was quite aware of it on 21 November last, but chose to doubt that it existed.

    I just bought an new pc with Windows 8.1 and my Windows Live Mail version is (Build 16.4.3528.0331).

    Until I had Windows 7 I solved the problem by uninstalling IE11.

    Now I cannot uninstall IE11 so I solved it by using Thunderbird. 

    I preferred the other way but since Microsoft doesn't seem to bother..
