Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When I am sending a link in Evolution it is not clickable unless I do something immediately after the link; add a space or enter.
People receiving these are complaining as they are not use to cut and pasting the links into a browser

What I expect to happen : the links as soon as they appear, to be highlighted or coloured and functionally clickable.
What happens: the links are in plain black text and are not clickable by the sender or receiver.
