Description Anders Lund 2006-05-14 22:24:17 UTC 
Version:           1.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu9 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-21-386

This is disqualifying, especially considering that there is no way to add a link manually either. Like this 
KMail is not suitable outside the geek world :(
Comment 1 Magnus Holmgren 2006-05-21 18:19:05 UTC 
Do you mean when composing a new message, or when viewing an HTML message? I suggest you mean the former, since then we have this bug about automatically creating hyperlinks when composing HTML messages, bug 102924 about manually creating hyperlinks when composing HTML messages, and bug 127508 about parsing HTML messages for URIs when viewing them.
Comment 2 Vlad Lungeanu 2006-07-06 08:50:13 UTC 
I confirm the bug. I work in a corporate environment where HTML email messages are the standard. I cannot insert hyperlinks in HTML messages using Composer (either automatically or manually). The only workaround that I found is to save a draft of the message, open the message file as text in a text editor and add the respective HTML code by hand.
I use Kubuntu 6.06 with KDE 3.5.3.

Given you dont want to scan HTML messages for links, this is kinda grave.
How does other email clients behave in this matter?
Comment 5 Thomas McGuire 2009-08-23 20:10:56 UTC 
KMail in KDE 4.3 or even KDE 4.2 can insert manual links.
Downgrading this to a wish.
