Hey Antonitus,
I don't think this is a bug, no. Email clients (like the one I use, Gmail) sometimes convert strings that look like HTTP links into clickable links in email content. I didn't *ask* it to, but it does it anyway. But other clients don't do it; they only show the non-clickable string.
[To test your email client, try uploading this to your server, changing the email address to your own:
- it won't work on all servers; only those that allow the 4th mail() parameter].
Anyway, we can FORCE the client to show the link only with HTML formatted emails. If you like, post me back with your HTML email template and the name of the field you want to convert to a clickable link and I'll show you how to tweak it. :-)
