Which is in and of itself not broken. Copy/Paste of it works. You
just get spaces, which if you copy/paste that whole string back into
SeaMonkey you'll load the page (at the anchor) correctly.
But if you mouse over it, you'll see in the status bar that SM doesn't
parse beyond the first space, angle brackets notwithstanding, so
clicking the link in NoOp's post takes you to
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community#Getting>, which yields the top of the
page, not the desired bookmark.
Here's a clickable link that does take you directly to the bookmark:

His issue was not link-parsing in mailnews [which, fwiw can be SOLVED
with HTML mail, since the link is an anchor tag, in quotes]. but the
copy/paste behavior. Which I addressed. Mailnews linkage is a different
story as well. (and NOT A BUG imo for mailnews since the auto-link in
text-only-mode is correct)
Fair enough, assuming the sender is interested and savvy enough to do
this. In my experience, the vast majority of end users don't even use
angle brackets, so it would be a better system if Mozilla improved its
link parsing in mail/news messages.
