I have begun using the Mime Input Filter to create HTML EMail in Rules. Prior, it had been Filtered HTML.

What I have noticed, when a Full HTML email is sent to GMail or Yahoo EMail included links are clickable. When the same email is sent to Thunderbird, links are not clickable.

I am not an advanced user and realize this could be a Thunderbird problem, though I have never noticed a non clickable link before. Just want to note this issue in case anyone else has it.

I am using Thunderbird and the included links are clickable in my test messages sent with Rules.

Update: Are you using the URL Filter for the Full HTML input format?

Thanks, yes I am using URL Filter.

Site Configuration - Input Formats - Full HTML - URL FIlter is checked.

Perhaps there is a conflict with some other filter which cancels it out?

I thought it might be a setting I have in Thunderbird but I could not find any applicable settings.

If anyone would like to receive a message you can post it or send a private message. I thought it was interesting the links work in my browser email clients but not Thunderbird, such as when the same message is forwarded from one email client to Thunderbird.

Agh...We need to call check_markup() to run the filters on the HTML message body. Please test the attached patch and report back.

Thank you. I am not great at applying patches, but have done it once.

I had recently installed the dev version. Then I went into console and:

Edit for typo in .ptach

root@webserver [/home/petnotic/public_html/sites/all/modules/mimemail]#  curl -f http://drupal.org/files/issues/mimemail_1150224_01.patch > mimemail_1150224_01.patch

root@webserver [/home/petnotic/public_html/sites/all/modules/mimemail]# patch < mimemail_1150224_01.patch

The response: 

can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

Use the following to strip the first segment ('a/' and 'b/') of the path:
patch -p1 < mimemail_1150224_01.patch
