When viewing Mails in HTML mode, to open Hyperlinks in the browser, one currently has to double-click links (it took me a moment to find out). To my understanding, opening hyperlinks via single-click would be more intuitive (and probably follow common userinterace standards).

I'm aware that it diverges from the standard behaviour. The reasoning behind that is that it makes it easier to select the text of the link to copy it. Sometimes I want to copy the text, and sometimes I want to open the link. Being able to left click drag to select without the URL opening is easier.

Browsers have pretty much standardized on Alt/Option+Left click drag for selection and just Left Click for open. So if people think that is better I'm open to changing it.
