I also noticed this.  I think the rationale was that, by making links and 
email addresses in messages unclickable, it prevents link spam via mailing 
list archives and the like.

However, I don't like it... and our users want to retain clickable links in 
archives, as with the old MailMan system.

So, this is how to get rid of it!

First, you need to edit the file mhonarc-ressources.tt2 (yes, that double s 
is correct) in your Sympa config directory.  Look for the MIMEARGS 
definition.  Set the following options:

<MIMEARGS>
text/plain; asis=us-ascii:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-2 nonfixed quote htmlcheck 
maxwidth=78 link="http,https,ftp,mailto"
text/html; asis=us-ascii:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-2 allownoncidurls
m2h_external::filter; subdir usename
</MIMEARGS>

This allows the archives to make embedded URLs in archived text postings into 
hotlinks.

The next part requires you to modify the Sympa code... 8-O

In sympa/lib/tools.pm you need to add a couple of options to the 
StripScripts::Parser.  Around line 111 or so, add the AllowHref=>1 and 
AllowMailto=>1 (if you want mailto links as well):

      my $hss = HTML::StripScripts::Parser->new({ Context => 'Document',
                                                AllowSrc        => 1,
                                                AllowHref => 1,  #ADDED
                                                AllowMailto => 1, #ADDED
                                                Rules => {

This stops the links from being removed in HTML emails when viewing the 
archives.

Ideally, this behaviour should be set via an option in the wwsympa.conf, 
but...

My version is 6.1.11; I doubt there are many changes in other 6.1.x but you 
may find it different in 6.2a.x
