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.

    BUT when I copy/paste a template from Word (I do that all the time), line spacing is strange: it creates double spacing instead of normal, this is espcially true in between paragraphs.

    Any idea how to solve this ?

    Microsoft, PLEASE fix this for us !!!

    Solved.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]

    "wlmail.exe"=dword:00002AF9

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]

    "wlmail.exe"=dword:00002AF9

    Save as hoge.reg, double click the file, reboot pc.

    Thanks for this tip. It works.

    Hi everybody ;)

    This seems a huge thread and regardless of if my subject isn't exactly the same it seems correlated

    Let me explain.  When I read email using my Outlook.com in IE 11 or Mail app in Windows 8.1 Update,  Any URL isn't clickable.  Now if I read the same email in my Windows Phone the URL IS clickable.

    Any idea?

    Perhaps those are used by the compose function. Those should be removed when the html is converted to the mail source.
