Question asked on Feb 26, 2014

As part of my job, I have to surf the way and gather a bunch of URLs in the morning, all revolving differnet topics.

I gather about 70 to 80 URLs so that I later in the day I can write blog posts around them.

So my email draft would look what you see below.

This way, I can easily click on each of the 60-70 links at a rapid pace -- each of which opens in a new tab in my browser -- so I can go through them fairly quickly.

Even when I save the draft without closing, the email draft you see below stays intact.

The problem is when I close the email draft (or send it).

The links look like what you see below -- mangled and unusable.

So instead of easily clicking on each link, I have to copy and paste them one by one in my browser.

Which is a cumbersome process, especially with 60-70 links.

As I said, this only happens when I close the email draft. If I kept the draft open all day, and repeatedly saved it, it would look like what you see above. But it's not always possible to keep a draft open all day.

Is there any way to fix this? It would be a huge help. Thanks.
