I think it depends on whether (a) WordMail is the editor and (b) you're looking at a message being composed or a received message. The feature you're seeing is indeed the WordMail feature, so the setting in Word should govern the behavior in messages.

Thank you. If you've received a message, that setting is goverened by
WordMail, as well? So are these following scenarios true?
#1
Word is my email editor.
I compose an email with a link.
I am required to use CTRL+Click
#2
Word is my email editor.
I receive an email with a link.
I am required to use CTRL+Click
#3
Word is not my email editor.
I compose an email with a link.
I am not required to use CTRL+Click
#4
Word is not my email editor.
I receive an email with a link.
I am not required to use CTRL+Click
Thanks for the quick reply! :)
