When I define a hyperlink in an email (ctl+k), I see a option related to using a Named Anchor. What is that? I am trying to tell Thunderbird about a list of common URLs that I link in my emails and I am guessing this might be what a Named Anchor is? If not, I still want to know how to do that. BTW, I searched help for Named Anchor with no luck

A named anchor is a label assigned to part of an html message to which you can jump to by clicking a link that is in another part of the message, e.g. if you create an anchor named 'top' at the top of the message, inserting a link to that anchor far below the top will allow the reader to click the link and make the viewing window scroll to the top. Or, consider a set of anchors that serve as a table of contents for a message with many sections.

You would add an anchor by selecting Insert/HTML... and adding <a name="top"></a>, then clicking Insert (or just selecting Insert/Named Anchor from the menu), and then Ctrl+K to insert a link and right-clicking in the Link Location box to show the named anchors, or just typing in #top.
