Hi, I clicked on the url address in the browser url window and highlighted it. Then I right clicked it and copied the url address. I then pasted the url address in the email and sent out the email. Again, the email was on my isp's email servers and had no connection to youtube, yahoo, or google.
Some things about your posts here re this "problem".
You are using Evolution and not Thunderbird to post your messages here in this thread - so where does Thunderbird come into it?
I use Thunderbird to send email through my isp's servers for my personal email. Sending email is set up through the smtp.xxx.com server of my isp. It is a different email address than I use to send and receive email from the opensuse list. I use evolution to send and receive email through gmail to the opensuse list and a couple of other technical mailing lists. It just makes it easier for me to keep the two types of emails seperate, no other reason. Its just a personal preference. I travel a lot for work, and it has been easier in the past for me to send emails through gmail than my isp's servers when I am somewhere around the world.
Secondly, you do not mention which browser you were/are using. If you are going to ask questions it is best to mention what applications you are using.
I was using Firefox to view the video. I didn't use it to send email. I used thunderbird to send the email.
Thirdly, how are/did you send/ing your e-mail "via [your] isp's email? You mention Thunderbird, and you are using Evolution, which makes people conclude that it is a mailer which causing some perceived problem. However, what you don't say is that you have your mailer configured to send mail thru your ISP using a POP or IMAP or whether you sent that e-mail with the URL on-line, using the browser and logging in into your account and then posting your message. Which is the way you did it?
I send email using smtp. Pop is how I receive emails. I sent the email in question via thunderbird. I did not send it via a browser, which in this case would have been firefox 9.0.1 opensuse linux version. I don't know if there is a security leak in opensuse 12.1 or thunderbird, it was simply a way to broach the question of how this happened to the knowledgeable members of the mail list. I don't wish the title of the thread should lead you down the wrong trail of thinking. If I was younger, maybe I could have titled the thread "Whoa Dude, how did this happen?"
I have been using Thunderbird since the year dot and I have never had the behaviour you mention.
I have also used thunderbird for a long time without problem. I don't know if thunderbird is at fault, and I don't think I layed the blame at thunderbird's door. I just explained how I sent the email, and what resulted afterwards.
But what does come to mind is that you used your browser to do the post and your browser (whichever one it is) does not have security installed - but here I am only surmising.
Nope, didn't use the browser to send the email so that wouldn't have been at fault.
