HTML turned on. Tried reboot. No change.
Did you see a specific thread relating to this in that link you posted.
I tried search. Nothing that was similar that I could see.

I suggest you post your question there. It's a great forum, I've had loads of help without any bull****!

312872 2005-01-11 04:48:00 When you say that links in email won't work in Thunderbird, do you mean pasting them from your browser? (Firefox?)

To select the link from the page you are viewing in your browser, hit Ctrl-L which highlights the URL. Then hit Ctrl-C to 'cut' the address.

Then in your new Thunderbird message, hit Ctrl-V to paste the address into the email.

HTH. This method works fine in Mandrake 10.

I mean links in an email. e.g. The Register newsletter is full of links none of them work. I have since discovered that I cant post in PressF1 from Xandros so it is probably a setting in Firefox that causing the problem.
Still looking for ideas. Anyone ??
