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.

    Unclear communication is not a service to anyone and creates more problems than it attempts to resolve.

    And btw, I it's not that I "misunderstand every statement" you make but rather that you just do not communicated very clearly and I'll not risk following unclear instructions.  A .ini is not a .reg, "add too" is very unclear and confusing, and we are are not talking about "imbedded" images but hyper text. I did not invent this clarity and inconsistency.

    Sorry but I find your instructions unclear and have no idea  exactly what you want me to do.

    Hello JohnM333,

    I totally understand your frustrations. And I totally agree that Microsoft has dropped the ball regarding this issue, along with many others.

    I see that you have just recently joined this Microsoft Community site.  Perhaps you do not realize that this is a peer to peer forum, and that Microsoft proper has virtually no input here, and that is a shame.  This site has many many volunteers to try and help others where Microsoft has not.  These volunteers give freely of there time to help others, and are not, I repeat, are not employed by Microsoft.

    I would suggest that you sit back, take a deep breath, and accept that these volunteers are trying their best to help people like me and you.

    And lastly, I would like to say that Firedog has been the most helpful to me personally, going far beyond what Microsoft has done.

    Please show him the respect he has earned in this forum.

    And good luck to you and your issue ( and mine )

    Tom
