Hyperlinks not working in Windows Live Mail 2012 on a Windows 8 system

I am using Windows Live Mail 2012 Version 16.4 on new laptop Windows 8 system. Emails with hyperlinks do not work in Live Mail most of the time. It looks like plain text. I am using MS Live Mail because I could not get Windows 8 mail working with my pop mail account and the Microsoft help desk put Live Mail on my laptop to fix the problem.  I have sent the hyperlink to myself using Internet Explorer 10. I have received other emails from my husband from his PC with hyperlinks in them and they do not work. I also receive a hyperlink from my husband PC forward from Firefox and that did work. I have sent myself a Hyperlink by using my Apple computer mail to this computer and that hyperlink worked.  I try going to "Https://accounts.live.com" to find "under other options click on Use HTTPS automatically" but I could not find that option there. I also try to forward this email with the not working hyperlink in the body of the message and I put my cursor at the end of the hyperlink and press the space bar, the link turns on. How can I get hyperlinks turn on all the time?
