Email Address Hyperlinks don't work in Windows Mail

I have read all the threads here first! I get php forms delivered to my
Windows Mail email box, adn they contain people's names, addresses, phone
mumbers and a field for their email address. Their email address shows up as
just text (not clickable text) and I need to be able to click on their email
address and respond. I have it set as the Default Program, have IE as
default etc etc.

I am going mad! I cannot figure this out. As I said, I read this thread,
and nothing ahs worked for me. If anyone can help, please do! I would
appreciate it very much!

Is Windows Mail configured as your default Mail Client in Default Programs
*and* Windows Mail Tools | Options | General?

Is "Read all messages in plain-text" option enabled?

Yes it is the Default. No, Read all messages in plain-text " is not checked.
But I tried it both ways to no avail! Thanks - any other suggestions??!

Can you save the php form to your hard drive and
open it in Internet Explorer? If so, are they then
clickable?

Look at the source code of one of those messages by pressing Ctrl+F3.
Is there a non-space character immediately preceding the 'http://' ?
If so, that will prevent WM from recognizing it as a URL link.

I did take a look as per your instructions. Htere looks like there might be
a spce (blank) but I cannot delete it or anything in this view. Maybe I will
ask my webguy to take a look at it from that angle. Any other ideas?

If you open such an email via your account's web-mail page, is the MailTo
link clickable, Dan?

If links normally work in your Internet Explorer,
then the code is most likely faulty.
