Are you saying that SeaMonkey is not recognizing and activating URLs

plain text in HTML messages?
For example, if I write http://www.example.com, does it remain plain
text, or does SM recognize and activate it as a clickable link?
Messages arrive as HTML. In the message preview window of SM, with the
message displayed, I see a sentence, with 2 words underlined, and
hovering over that changes the cursor as expected for a hyperlink. But
clicking does nothing, and I do not see the expected URL of the link in
the status bar at the bottom of the SM mail window. If I view the
message source (Ctrl-U), I can find the section which includes the
on-screen text.
In one email, the on-screen text is followed by what appears to be an
index "[1]" which you don't see on the HTML render. Other items have
similar but different indexes next to them, and there is a "Links:"
section to the doc, with those same links defined. The first such link
includes the URL that I should be referred to by the hyperlink.
From the source, here's part of the message just after the routing and
AV status messages from the header:

Wordy, but it explains what I'm seeing (or not). Ideas?
In this case, it seems clear that the sender is to blame. They're using
footnotes and putting the URLs in the notes, not hyperlinking them in
the body text.
