Can't and/or unable to click on links within emails in Thinderbird?!

This is the first time that I have ever used anything from/by Mozilla
and so far Firefox and Thunderbird are great programs that work perfectly.
I have been using for these programs for the last few days now, however
there is one thing that I notice that Thunderbird doesn't do that
Outlook Express did which is I can not and/or unable to click on links
for websites that are within emails in Thunderbird.
Does anyone know why this is and/or know how to be able to click on
links in emails just like in Outlook Express? In Outlook Express the
links to website were usually underlined and in blue and are able to be
clicked on, but in Thunderbird links for websites look just like the
rest the words that are typed in the emails which are unable to be
clicked on.

This is very strange behaviour. Normally, this should work well. I'd
say try Thunderbird in Safe Mode, and if that doesn't work, do a fresh
install.
It could also be because you have no default browser appointed. Go in
FF to Options -> General -> Default browser -> Check now.

This is not an uncommon problem. You will find several threads on here
from people experiencing the same problem.
On my system, for example, when I click on a link in TB nothing happens
until I move the pointer away from the link ... and then FF loads and
the page appears, as expected.
I've learned to live with it as the other advantages of TB over OE are
worth this minor inconvenience.
