Web links don’t copy to email message body

When I copy text with live links from web pages into an email message body, the links only copy as text without being live. This is relatively new behavior that has been occurring for a number of weeks. I have not changed any settings. I can create links when composing, but links from other sources won't copy into a message. Received email with live links retain those links and can be forwarded with the live links. Using Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail 2011, all automatically updated.
