    This is more to make my mum be quiet, but basically she would like URLs to be parsed as she types her emails in Thunderbird (a la Outlook).

    But currently they only get converted to clickable links when the email is sent.

    Any ideas on how to get round this?

    Does it convert text to link on the fly in HTML mode?

    Looks like the true believers think OE & O are doing it wrong. :D
