Description Jo-Erlend Schinstad 2008-03-24 14:12:33 UTC 
A tasks description body very often contains links to places on the web. Those links should automatically be clickable so that you don't have to copy and paste the link into your web browser in order to follow it.

Tasks should also have an associated URL. When I'm working on bugs, I end the task description with: "Finished: <url to bug>". This shouldn't be necessary. It would be much better if the task had a special field for that URL.  

Other information:
There is a similar bug report for Calendar, as I understand it. It's not identical, but it could be relevant: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304112

foe evolution;

I agree that tasks and memos descriptions should have clickable links if they contains them, but I do not think the associated URL is necessary for this.
This patch renders links in a description in preview pane as clickable.

Would be nice if the /editing/ window could highlight URLs in the description as well, for those of us who don't use task/memo previews.  But this still is a good step forward.

The bug #304112 is about editing window, so we "can" do that there.
