In previous versions of thunderbird I could just go to "include" and then "Link" and in the drop down box just paste in the url I wanted to include into the field link address. If I try doing that now I am told something about there being "no know anchor .... " Now I have to type in the url again. Using the paste button does not work! WHY? As a work around i just paste the url as text into the mail but then it does not show up as a link (underlined in blue), so that the receiver of the mail now has to copy and paste my link instead of just being able to click on it.

Yes it does, the conversion is part of the send process. if you look in your sent mail they will be links.

Thanks

I don't understand. Does this mean that I can no longer copy the url from the page I wanted to send, and insert it directly into a word or phrase in my email, by pasting the url in the box that says "Insert new Link"? Why does it say "Insert new Link," if this cannot be done? What is an anchor, anyway? Could I use one to insert a proper hyperlink into an email?

I have the same question, and would like an answer.

Well Steve I answered this question, oh 5 months ago. If you don't understand perhaps you need to ask your own question because the question is answered and I will not be adding more.
