Use of the URL button in message preview
I just noticed that when I used the URL button for a web address and went to Preview my message, the URL displayed with and on either end, but it looked fine when I actually submitted it.

Re: Use of the URL button in message preview
It could be that the preview function is a limited in the URLs it can recognize, and that when it fails it leaves the tags visible. For example, enclosing "google.com" in URL tags produces visible tags in the preview, while "www.google.com" and "http://www.google.com" in URL tags previews as a link. I think if you include the "http://" in URL tags the previewer will always display it as a link.

Re: Use of the URL button in message preview
The URL was complete, but now that I try it again here, I see that I was probably looking at the edit area, not the actual preview. Sorry if I wasted your time.
