Why are urls to places in the same received message unresponsive?
I receive a message with Urls at the beginning which are supposed to take you down the page to other places in the message However the Urls are unresponsive
Urls that are supposed to take me to my browser work
Thanks in advance for any help

Without seeing a specific example, I would presume it's due to bad HTML markup. I just tried creating my own HTML message with a link to another place in the same message that's tagged with the "id" attribute, and it works as expected.

Interestingly the message url works correctly when I view the message on the Gmail server. Trying to send you the message (from TBird)

See if you can see the message using this link. Interestingly the Urls work properly on the page when viewing the message on the Gmail server but not in Thunderbird

The message appears to have been created by a Microsoft application and contains tons of non-standard Microsoft-invented HTML extensions. When run through an HTML validator, it gets flagged with over 1000 errors. That it displays even somewhat legibly is kind of a miracle.
Thunderbird is not a web browser and can't be expected to display everything as well as a dedicated web browser can. That's why many messages, including this one, have a "View this email in a browser" link.
You can switch the view from "Original HTML" to "Simple HTML" and see if it displays more to your liking. (see menu item <View | Message Body As>.
