I am unable to email a hot link

When I want to send a link to someone by email, it is not in a form that someone can quickly click on to access. It has to be copied and pasted instead. Please advise on how to correct this.... it works fine when I use Internet Explorer.

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much that was bugging me...... my parents don't know how to copy and paste, so, this helps tremendously.
