That always catches me out! (The trick is to remember to use the URL in the footer, rather than the one inline.) I'm using KMail too, but I didn't realise it had this feature. It looks like it does it if you edit the mail in rich text mode and then convert it to plain text with markup. Normally I just edit in plain text mode directly, so I never encounter it. For a hyperlink of the text 'example' to the url 'https:// example.com/', the result is example[1]. However, if you insert the URL as both the 'Link text' and the 'Link URL', you will instead get https://example.com/[1], which causes the problem. (I notice it will only refer the first instance of a given URL to the footnote, annotating subsequent instances with _underline_ markup instead, so this email of mine, containing two references to the same footnote, could only have been written some edits in plain text mode.) -------- [1] https://example.com/ -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-05-05 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
