   Which means that the conversion to plain text is done by the web   
   browser, and both do differently.   
      
   When I paste a text including a link into Thunderbird mail editor in   
   html mode, I get a working link if read in a complying html mail client.   
   However, the sent mail contains two parts, one in html rich text, and   
   one plain text. The text part contains both the name of the link and the   
   URL inside parenthesis.

   Heh, here most government sites try to be "accessible", so they work in   
   FF. Specially tax sites: they make easy to pay. ;-)   
      
   Yesterday I had to renew the certificate used in FFx to identify and do   
   taxes, or identify to the health site and get a printout of my   
   medicines. The site included instructions and software for Windows,   
   Linux, Apple. And Android, I think.   
      
   The problems are with some commercial sites.
