Windows Mail App: Links appearing as plain text.

    Some of my emails are not properly displaying web links through my Yahoo account.  For example:  I am personally subscribed to a website known as Slickdeals (http://slickdeals.net), and none of their Deal Notifications have active links within the Mail app.  Instead, website addresses appear as plain text, even though the same links work just fine when logging into my Yahoo Mail account through IE or Google Chrome.

    How can I fix this issue?  I actually love the Mail app, but this is simply a deal-breaker for me if it can not be amended.

    Hi,

    Seems this is a compatibility issue with Maill app. I record your report. Thanks.

    That could just be a difference between E-mail client treatment of text strings which look like URLs but are in HTML and therefore are not links.   Different E-mail clients also provide different functionality in support of such strings when Plain-text messages are involved.

    Notice that now IE10 has a helpful right-click Go to copied address command to help reduce the inconvenience of such a situation.

     
    FYI

    I highly doubt I am the only one with this issue.  There are *plenty* of Slickdeal users out there...

    i am having same issue with http://dealpursue.com

    Give a specific example there and a symptom description.  FWIW I opened it, picked a deal and followed the link.  It only opened in the same tab but I was able to use Back to get back to the original page.  NTF?
