I must admit that I also stumbled into this issue from time to time, but never cared.  I'll look into that, should be easy to fix.

I guess the HTML renderer will show a clickable link if and only if it is a “<a href="…">…</a>” HTML element.  Did you check that in the html source?

Cheers,
Albrecht.
