<p dir="auto">Thanks, Henry. That’s useful too. With a feature-rich program like MM, little touches like that are easy to overlook!</p>
<p dir="auto">In case it helps anyone else, I’ve attached an Alfred related workflow. It will take what text you’ve highlighted (say, in MailMate) and create a markdown link with the last http item in your Alfred cut/paste buffer. So, it will replace the highlighted text with <a href="last_http_address_in_the_buffer" style="color: #3983C4;">highlighted text</a>. It is called with the phrase “mdlink”</p>
<p dir="auto">This is based on a workflow that I found somewhere. Apologies to whoever originally created it, they deserve credit, but I don’t know who they are.</p>
<p dir="auto">Best,<br>
Zvi</p>

<p dir="auto">A-ha! Thanks. The key is to use the “Copy link” right-click option on any link. That does it, but ‘regular’ cut and paste does not.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi All,<br>
There are two issues here, which I’m sorry I wasn’t sufficiently clear on:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p dir="auto">There is pasting a text string that begins with “http://“. For me, this indeed turns in to a full-fledged link automatically. I think this is the sort of thing that Sam is talking about.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">There is pasting a text string that doesn’t start with “http://“, but that is a hyperlink. (Like this). Cutting and pasting this sort of thing doesn’t yield a hyperlink for me, it just yields the text “Like this”).</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">The second one is what I’m curious about. Right now, I think I do something like Zak, which is to construct the appropriate markdown-formatted link. (I have an Alfred workflow that makes it very easy, I just wondered if there are other ideas out there. Happy to share the workflow w/ anyone interested).</p>
