Default How do I get a usable link on the first try?

P.S. Here is a simple way to recreate my question...
Go to the top of your IE screen and select the entire URL.
Right click the mouse and select "Cut". (The entire URL should be
gone.)
Go to Outlook & open a new meesage.
Right click the mouse and select "Paste".
Mystery Icon pops up....


I actually can't repro this at all, which leads to a few questions:

What format is your email message? What version of Word is installed on the
machine? Not that it should matter, what happens if you just copy the url?
What happens if you cut a url out of notepad?

Also, as a lark, try the following after you open the new message:
control-a and delete, then pasting in. (if that doesn't change the results,
try control-a and then control-space, followed by pasting in).
