Mozilla Thunderbird, EditPlus and even Notepad++ as well as LOTS of other applciations all do the same thing when they encounter text that looks like an url or email, so it's hard to justify fiddling with the data just because someone doesn't like the behavior of that feature.
You'll probably end up just living with the issue.
