How can I enable automatic links to websites or email addresses? I can do this in IE, but prefer to use Firefox.

When composing emails, I often refer to other websites or to other people's email addresses. I'd like these referrals to be underlined or blued to indicate a direct link that has been enabled to these locations. This is no problem in Internet Explorer, as it's automatic there, as it is when I write a Word document, but I've been unable to find a way to make it automatic in Firefox. ( My email provider is Yahoo, but that shouldn't be relevant, as I was able to do this in IE with Yahoo.)

There is usually a toolbar button in the editor to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.

Hi.

I normally have 100 or more links for files to a server. I have to seperately activate each one with the tool bar facility. It's a nightmare!

I don't don't think you've got a fix for this, but wanted to ask anyway.

Cheers, Matthew.
