Mail Auto Detect URL Links

This is a long-standing problem that I have had that recently re-surfaced when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. There was a previous discussion with the same problem here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2197566&start=0&tstart=0).
The basic problem is this. Mail will auto-detect and link URL and email addresses while I am composing an email.
This is quite frustrating as it will interupt what I am typing and pull the cursor back to where the url or email address is when it auto-detects and creates the link. Some people might find this useful, I do not because of how quickly it happens - it is very disruptive. While using Leopard and this problem surfaced, it appeared to be related to the MailTags plugin since disabling that plugin made the problem go away. I also found that the auto-detect and linking occurs during activity with the mail server as noticed by a quick burst of activity happening (as shown in the Activity Window) just before the auto-detect and linking occurs.
If anyone can provide any information and assistance as to why this is happening and how to correct it, I would appreciate it. Unfortunatley, I have grown even more comfortable and reliant on MailTags than when this problem surfaced with Leopard and do not want to leave MailTags disabled.

You create the new bookmark with the javascript replacing the original URL from any old bookmark you have and no longer need, or just create a new bookmark for any thing at all specifically for your links script. Then once you are at a page where you want the links displayed, you just select your new links bookmark. Your page will stay open, but a new window will open as well, with all the links listed. You might want to change the size of the window, the width=400 and height=200 result in a pretty small window. Anyway, I put the Links javascript bookmarklet in my Bookmarks menu, so while I am here on this page I just go to the Bookmarks menu, slide down and select Links, and a new window opens with all the links on this page listed.

PS--It would be more impressive if I had written that script, but I didn't. I found it years ago and saved it with a batch of bookmarklets that do other useful things, such as suppressing animated gifs. I just checked, and a particularly useful collection, Jesse's Bookmarklets, still exists:

  • Send Mail with Long URL - Link getting split w/CR/LF in Email

    I am using a send mail step and including a long URL so that the user can
    access an Iview directly from the URL Link.  The URL which is about 250 characters long is getting split across multiple lines in the MS Outlook Email therby losing the link (only the first line underlined). I am loading the container element contianing the link from a standard text and appending the necessary IView parmater to the end. I tried enclosing my URL within an href but that did not work wither.  My current workaround is to code my own method
    which sends the email but would rather using the standard Send Mail Step.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  • Auto-extracting URL LINKS from webpage?

    is there a way to extract all the linked url's from a webpage?
    i am trying to put together some lists and would like to gather these up and then insert them into a numbers spreadsheet. in some cases there are 30 to 50 of these listed on the left hand side of a webpage and right now I imagine clicking on a link, copying the url from the browser, inserting into  numbers, clicking back, clicking on the next link etc.
    is there a way to save some steps by exporting these to a text document and then copying and pasting from there?
    thanks for any help.

  • Mail 4.4 urls link opens different website

    hello,
    we experience something very strange, in one of our emails we have included a url (syntax http://www.example.com) which opens a completely different website in safari, while showing the url included in the email.
    we have tried the following:
    1. emptied safari cache;
    2. tried from different computers on various networks > same behaviour;
    3. checked the raw source of the email > no reference to the other website anywhere;
    needless to say the other website is available when simply typing the url in safari's address bar.
    any ideas much appreciated.

    Restart your Mac then try both browsers in the main account.
    If that doesn't help, remove all startup items in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
    And check startup items.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/StartupItems
    Click Go. Move any items in the StartupItems folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac then try a browser.
    If that doesn't help, back to the Finder.
    Copy and paste the following:
    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go the move all the files in the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Try a browser.

  • Can't open file://-URLs (Links) in Mail or Messages. Adium works. What is wrong?

    Hi, in our office, we send links to documents on our server with file://-URLs. In Yosemite (Mail and Messages) it is no longer possible to open these links via the services menu (open URL). Adium works. Do I have to change something in my Yosemite-Configuration? Thanks for helping. Best regards Michael

    Apple broke the way Mail handles afp:// URL links in Mavericks and has finished breaking Mail in Yosemite by breaking file:// URL links as well.
    AFP urls in Mavericks are mounting as volumes

  • Wrong URL link is being sent to users

    Hi,
    There are workitems in user's inbox.  An external notification mail is sent to user via a scheduled report.
    These  notification mail contains a URL link to log in SAP system. This URL link is old. Is it is possible to change an existing url in an email sent to user?  If its not possible what workaround can be provided so that user gets the correct url to log in??
    Regards,
    Vittalprasad

    Hi,
    How can I resend the mail for the workitems for which mail has already been send once??
    If you execute the Program RSWUWFML2
    You can see From work item creation date  & From work item creation time in the Block "Data for an Individual Run (Time Stamp Not Set)"
    There give that date & Time ( Date from which you want to resend the workitem) and execute it.
    Before that confirm whether it sending the New URL.

  • Composing Mail auto link no longer works for URLs

    URLs typed into a new Mail message used to be auto linked while composing a new message. This feature has recently disappeared, I think with the 10.5.7 update.
    Is this a common experience?
    Is it possible that there's a corrupted preference causing this problem?
    James

    If the url link is preceded by www in the new message, it will show up in the recipient's inbox (and your sent box) as an active link. I don't recall mail.app ever creating the link while in the new message window?

  • URL link in the standard Sourcing mails

    Hi All,
    I am working on Sourcing 7.0 . In my production server scenario we have two URLs Internal and External.
    All the sourcing emails will contain the Internal URL (sourcing server) in the mail content for the documents. So user will be not able to access the mail outside.
    I want to give external URL in the URL link present in the email content for document.
    >How can I achieve this?
    >How can i map the internal-external URL so user can access the sourcing email and will be able to open the sourcing documents?
    >In the standard email template, is there need to make changes for URL?
    Please share your view.
    Deepak!!!

    Hi Deepka,
    First of all correct my understanding on your question, U want to have external (outside) URL in the internal sourcing mails sent??
    PLease find the below details in case of mail changes;
    1) first of all you need to create a custom mail template for this and follow step2
    2) if you want to give some out side URL in the standard conent, you need to maintain the URL itself.
    3) FInally associate it with the mail configuration.
    Hope this helps, correct my understanding if you are looking for some other enhancements,.
    Thanks

    I am using a variable called message.
    'message: ' 'click on the following link' ||CRLF || urlname

  • Url links in Mail & Word are not opening in Firefox. Safari loaded url's just fine. Working on Mac OSX 10.6.6

    My camera is a 1Ds mk II..
    and for that one it says
    All versions tested. All versions tested. Supported only through Lightroom 4.1.
    however, it also says
    Windows XP, Vista, 7; Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
    which is plain wrong, because Canon never supported any drivers for Windows Vista or Win 7, not to speak of XP 64bit. (You cannot connect the camera via firewire, without the device drivers!)

  • Mail - url link color changes in mail signature

    Hello all,
    I've just tested a new signature, created in mail.  In it, I use a couple of custom colors to match our company colors.  Looks great.  
    However, when I send it out to myself to test, my email info in the signature [email protected] and our webiste url www.ddddddd.com change to the standard blue URL link color upon receipt.
    I'd like folks to see them in the company colors and not as that ugly blue.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks!

  • Can Mail send interactive PDF attachments with URL links?

    I have tried without success to send a PDF that has URL links embedded (made in InDesign CS3). When this mail arrives the links are stripped out from the attached PDF. I do not want to send html mail for this purpose.
    Anyone have any answers? Thanks.

    Jon,
    The strong probability is that a SPAM filter in the path to the recipient has stripped them out -- Mail would not cause this. Have you tried opening the PDF with Acrobat Pro, doing a Save As, and then attaching that version to see if the same behavior continues.
