If I copy a link and then paste in an email the result is in black as opposed to blue. This means that the recipient of the email cannot click the link

In the past when I would copy a link from one site and copy to an email it would appear in blue and then the recipient could then simply click the blue writing. Now when I copy this site to an email it appears in black and the recipient has to copy and paste rather than simply click.

I then switched back to Internet Explorer and I had no problems.

What happened.

For Gmail at least, I notice that I need to add a space after the link so that it turns into a hyperlink. Also, make sure that the e-mail is being sent in HTML format as opposed to plain text format.
