I'm using Thunderbird 52.5.2 on Windows 7.
When I compose the html emails and send, Thunderbird will convert the email addresses and the http:// urls I wrote to clickable hyperlinks when sending the email out. I don't want Thunderbird to do that for me and I would do that manually when I need by insert->links.
How to prevent Thunderbird from automatically rewriting URLs to hyperlinks when I compose and send the html emails ?
For example, I would like to compose a html email like this:
Email content I composed (I'm not able to embed img now, please click to view)
Thunderbird will rewrite the email address and http url as below (source code view)
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=en-US">
</head>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<b>H</b><i>ELLO</i><br>
This is an email address <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><br>
This is a http url <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.example.com/dummy.html">http://www.example.com/dummy.html</a><br>
<br>
</body>
</html>
But I want Thunderbird keep what I wrote as below (source code view):
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=en-US">
</head>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<b>H</b><i>ELLO</i><br>
This is an email address [email protected]<br>
This is a http url http://www.example.com/dummy.html<br>
<br>
</body>
</html>

Inspired from previous answer. I found another trick that DO make Thunderbird render my email correctly which has no clickable links.
When I compose a html email and edit to an email address, I have to manually use insert-->html it as below:
dummy<span>@</span>example.com
and below is for html urls:
http<span>:</span>//www.example.com/dummy.html
Then I got a perfect result.
