Apple Mail - Links Not Highlighted

[Klaatu]

I'm using a new MAC mini, with the latest OS.

In Apple Mail, when I copy a hyper link into an email, the link does not turn blue (I'm using Rich Text/HTML) -- I have to highlight the link, and then go through the steps to add a link.

However, even thought the link stays unhighlighted in my email, it appears (and works) like a link to the recipient, and if I look in my Sent folder, the link appears blue and works.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

That's how it works, the links work fine when they arrive, but don't show/work when making them.

That certainly seems like a "quirk" Apple could address --- thanx for the information.

Is there a place to post comments about "improvements" for Apple that Apple actually reads?

I think it's just a part of the Email Standard. Email isn't an Apple invention.

Mail menu > Provide Mail Feedback...

Hi,

Try these
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Or
https://ssl.apple.com/support/feedback/

I have a friend who's an IT consultant, and an Apple enthusiast...he's using the same programs/apps we are, and his link in Apple Mail comes up highlighted/blue when pasted into or typed into an email.

Very strange.

And thank you for the links to site where I can post suggestions.

lol, there is no Mail Feedback on that page oldscribe. I went there first.

Not if it is a Plain Text email, plain text does not include hyperlinks.

He must have his default set to Rich Text or HTML.

Note: some people and business filter out none Plain Text emails, so they may not get through.

Hi Kaveman,

lol, there is no Mail Feedback on that page oldscribe. I went there first.

I think the old in my user name says it all, LOL

And Klaatu,

As kaveman says double check your setting within preferences (Rich Text). Here is my example and links show up as blue and clickable for me.
