Hyperlinks in email only work occasionally

This is happening across OS versions, and across phones, so I'm not sure where to post this.

My friend has a Razr Maxx with ICS and K-9. I have an LG Marquee with GB and K-9.

This is how it goes:

I compose an email to my friend from my desktop PC Yahoo Mail account. I copy and paste a URL from my browser and send it off to him.

When I look in my Yahoo Mail sent messages (on my PC), I see that the URL has been converted to a clickable link.

When my friend receives it on his Razr Maxx however, it is plain text and NOT a hyperlink.

If, on my desktop PC Yahoo Mail account, I were to actually make a hyperlink by programming it (using the hyperlink function), he receives these links as hyperlinks.

So, why doesn't K-9 software automatically convert hyperlinks the way Yahoo Mail PC browser version does?
