Hi all,
I'm having an issue as I need to mention the option of using a "mailto" URI in several places of the manual I'm writing. However, when I enter it in Help and Manual, it creates a link automatically to send an email from the local browser, which I do not want. How do I change this? The normal editing options do not appear to be effective.
Many thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,
In addition to Martin's corrective fix, you can also turn off automatic link creation entirely if you wish. The setting is in View > Program Options > Editor: Automatically detect URLs when typing text.
