Before if I just clicked on "send link to email" it would appear in email in color and was a hyperlink sent to receiver.  Using Windows 7  and IE11.

Now it just prints in plain text and receiver has to copy and paste URL to get link?

I see this has been going on for sometime with many others. 

Only solution is placing the curser at end of the plain text link and pressing spacebar or return.   Which then

turns it into usable  hyperlink, similar to spellcheck behavior?    I never had to do that before... Worked on this for hours, no other solutions proposed online cure it.  Has Microsoft even admitted to this bug yet?????
