A while back it seems the MS mail clients were the biggest headache. I recall having to tell a friend of mine never to put a link as the first line. If you used any client other than the MS client you couldn't click on the link. Anyway, I don't think automatically altering a URL is a good idea. At least in the way I understand the OP's feature request. I read it as the "copy/paste" function was somehow supposed to recognize that the destination was to be a browser and then "fix" the URL. Doesn't sound very practical to me. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly
