Typing a reply in an email, can it be automatically be converted to a working link for the receiver?

Hi again Alex,

I am one of those recipients.  I just received an email from my daughter 
and wanted to click on the link that she supplied and had to cut and 
paste it into the address bar to get to that site.  I much rather would 
have liked just clicking on the link she provided and be forwarded to 
that location.  That is how it worked using Outlook.  There isn't much I 
prefer in Microsoft products, but that was one of them.

Cordially friend,
Steven
