The hyperlink friend sent me was not clickable - (and I'm grateful for
that -)
But after reading your reply and Bob W's I have to back down on my
thinking she was doing somethingseldomdone...
However I couldn't open her link in the email she sent me without doing
copy and past and then opening a browser. Thundebird doesn't check
spelling in
subject lines either.
If I hadn't been in the room with her when she sent me the link, I
surely would have deleted it without opening the mail. likewise, if I
get email with
NO subject or with "Hi" instant delete.

It's a short cut, Ann … rather than writing a note that requires a text body,
you just send the link as the subject line. Clicking it in every system and
browser I have available to me (iOS and macOS) just wakes up the web browser
with a new page that the link points to.
I used this short cut rather a lot when I was at the office … it's an efficient
way to pass links around when you have been in progress in a related
conversation already. Doing it via txt messages works too, but email is more
secure.

nothing in the body except "sent from my phone"
so instead of clicking it - I had to highlight and copy and paste. when I told
her that links belonged in the body of the mail she said she and all her
friends send each other
links in subject lines and copy and paste. she has a Gmail account - her
seldom used laptop is a mac.
Is this Brave New World? she asked me if what I told her was "a microsoft
thing".
finding this rather odd.
