[MlMt] copy/paste html links

[Zvi Biener]

Thanks, Henry. That’s useful too. With a feature-rich program like MM, 
little touches like that are easy to overlook!

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 
[highlighted text](last_http_address_in_the_buffer). It is called with 
the phrase “mdlink”

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.

Best,
Zvi
