links broken in forwarded messages

When I forward an email, all links except "mailto" stop working. Double-clicking on a link opens a dialogue window, which shows a "moz-do-not-send" attribute in "advanced edit", if that means anything. I've done everything suggested in troubleshooting, except for the "Standard Diagnostics", which seems drastic.

Saving a draft is supposed to activate hyperlinks, but this isn't occurring. Is the "do not send" attribute causing this? Any hints are appreciated...

When a forwarded or replied message opens in the message composer, clicking (once) on a link is disabled to allow editing of the link. Double-clicking the link opens the link Properties window, which is expected. If you open the forwarded message from the Sent folder, the links should be active with a single click. They are also active if a draft message is opened (viewed), but not if the Edit button is clicked.

Thanks! I needed to click links in a draft, and now know how to. :-)
