Old_Sparky, I had the same problem with Yahoo email. When the body of the message was 'rich text', the link did not automatically become clickable. I had to MAKE it a link by using the 'link' symbol while typing.

But in 'plain text' mode there are few options and a link starting with http would turn clickable on its own.

I don't have outlook, or I would test it myself.
You can test this by sending messages to yourself.
Try 'plain text' and send, then start a new message in 'rich text' and send

Or, help your buddies stay young by showing them how to copy/paste [you'll have to do that repeatedly of course :)]. I know people who have used email for over 20 years and still forget about copy/paste.

Maybe Ron has a copy/paste video on Youtube?
But if he has and you send the link to your buddies you'll run into the same problem
