Windows 10: Pasting URLs into Mail App for Windows 10 but show full URL hyperlinked

By default, when I paste a website's URL copied from the browser address bar to a Mail app message, it will hyperlink the URL make it clickable but change its text to the title of the webpage... this can be a problem for someone not sure of what the link is actually for if the title is weird or ambiguous or vague.


It's an additional problem if the title of two different URLs are the same, such as on different pages, or if the URL includes an in-page reference that begins with the # pound symbol; these will always show the same title in the hyperlink.


I'm not finding where to change the default paste behavior to just show the URL but also hyperlinked like what Gmail does.


I did find that while editing an email message, I can click the Insert tab at the top, then click Link, but then I have to paste the URL into both the "Text to display" and "Address" fields to get the behavior I need. This is a lot of steps for something that's a default behavior in other email apps.
