Re: [Evolution] Dragging links to the composer window broken in 1.5?

Evolution doesn't make it a link (at least for plain text mails). It
just displays anything that "looks like" an URL in blue. That's the
Composer part. (Haven't used 1.4 for long now and never used HTML
format, so the former might not be 100% correct.)

Displaying (reading) mails is similar: Anything that "looks like" a link
will be displayed blue and for the users convenience a clickable link.
Text/plain does not know hyperlinks...


That said: Yes, seems like the Composer is broken in this respect.

What is the bug really about? Which number? From your first sentence, it
felt like a wish to me too: Inserting links (different url/title) in
HTML mails.
