1) I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird2015-11-20T01:53:03-08:00two2manyboatshttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1095136#answer-808557<p>first thanks for the quick reply....but it didn`t solve my problem.
1) I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird as email program and I have a government email address I`m trying to send something to.....but the address is formatted like: mailto: xxxxxx@bop.gov except the whole address is underlined as well. The email comes back as wrong address if I send it without the underlining but I`m sure the rest is correct except for the underlining.
So when I open the new message and try to type in an address I don't have a toolbar to format anything.
Under view/toolbars/ formatting I have a check in that box; but no toolbar showing. Nothing under tools or options that gets me to where I could format. I tried highlighting the address and then shift/underscore but nothing,
Any help appreciated

</p><p>If you want to turn the address into a link, email sites usually have a hyperlink button, often with an image of two links of chain. If you select the email address before clicking the button, the site might automatically create a link, but if not, you may need to copy/paste the address into a pop-up as follows:
</p><pre>mailto:johndoe@example<em>.</em>com
</pre>
<p>Does that work/help?
</p><p>Note: If you are composing plain text, then none of that applies, since no formatting is allowed in plain text message.
