If i copy and paste text from a website in an e-mail that i am composing, it works fine...However, when i copy and paste a URL website into the compose window, i have to select: "Add as Text" and when it pastes it in and i send it to someone, they only get half the URL highlighted, so they are unable to go to the link i am trying to get them to...

Any solutions or workarounds for that?
Thanks

Instead writing the full URL write word combination and set the url to it as hyperlink.
For Example:
Wikipedia is great.
instead of
http://www.wikipedia.org is great.

Thanks..that is a very interesting suggestion...i've never done a "hyperlink" before, how does one go about that?

When writing a new mail select the menu "Options" at the top. Make sure that there's a hook at "Formatting (HTML)". Now there should be a toolbar with an action "Link". Mark some text and click on that action.

i enabled the html formatting but i don't see the "link" feature...where would that be?

It's the red marked entry:
