If you have a link in a Mail message that you're composing (this is in rich text mode, after selecting a link, pressing Command-K, then adding the URL), the link will be blue and underlined, but if you click it you won't get taken to the link's page. This is so you can edit the visible text of the link.

I don't understand what you mean. In mail.app, you can select text in the message, press command-K, enter the URL in the resulting dialog sheet, and the URL will be anchored to that selected text.
So you could have something like this:

Awesome hint. I'm always pissed when I can't click a link in an email I am composing (or forwarding/replying). This is great. Thank you! |
