Url in email body does not show
I am using Thunderbird 68.4.2 and in the past the url to my website has been in my outgoing emails and shows as such. However, now the url does not show. It always used to show in blue as that is what my text colour is set to. The receiver sees the url, but for some reason it is in red.
How do I get the url to just be under my address as it always has been, and shows in outgoing emails? My address is not a template in my emails, it is just an address that I put in an email years ago and then just copy and paste whenever I am using emails to clients.

I'm seeing your website link in blue.
But, you say you copy and paste your address and have the weblink below it.
Please send an email that has the copy pasted address and then put weblink below. Exactly like you use when sending to clients.
If you look at your 'Sent' copy' what do you see?
Possibilites: 1. The 'copy and paste' address is including some hidden code which is effecting the website link. This will show up when you send another email to me as advised and I can offer advise.
2. Your setup is using not using blue for those links. Check your settings:
- 'Menu app icon > Options > Display > 'Formatting' tab
- click on 'Colours'
'Link colours' unvisited links..this should be blue.
- click on the square colour button and choose a blue.
Visited links...this should be a purple type of colour.
- click on the square colour button and choose a purple colour.
- click on OK
3.Your recipient's setup is using red. Just as you can opt to alter the colour as mentioned above, so can the recipient. They would need to check that out on their computer.

Suggest you send an email to me so I can what is going on in the source code. I do not generally reply using the email address and will post all comments in this forum question. Send email to: mail at anje dot co dot uk
I have written that email address phonetically on purpose. 'at' means replace with '@' and 'dot' means replace with a full stop/period. Everything is lowercase with no spaces.

That worked thanks although, I set unvisited to Blue as well, and then the link is blue when it's sent and shows as such in sent box and is received in blue as well, which is what I originally had.
Many thanks
