I need to add an unsubscribe option in certain emails that are sent. In Outlook, I was able to format the word "unsubscribe" with an email address hyperlink but can't see how to do this with Thunderbird.

Chosen solution

You'll need to include mailto: before the email address

Something like:

Click <href a="mailto:zenos@example.com>here</a> to mail me.

Try mailto:// instead if that doesn't work.

Insert|Link in the menu. Press the alt button if you don't have a menu.

When I click Insert|Link it asks for a web page location, a local file or select a Named Anchor or Heading from the popup list. I've tried entering the email address I want the unsubscribe message to go to in a test email but when I click the word, nothing happens.
