Simple example:

```auto

```

Because this forum does not know anything about color, you cannot know that the ending parenthesis have the eMail style (blue, underlined, etc. if required)

Checked in Xojo 2017r3.

Also, why a simple click (to select the text for example) leads to an application launch (the wrong for me, usually: mail)  
Yes, I know the whole industry do that. But bmping the click to a double-click will not hurt !
