View formatted HTML when composing?

When composing an email is there a way to view the formatted HTML as I type? So, for example, if I enter a web address the blue link is visible? At the moment I can't be sure what I am sending will be formatted correctly (although I have checked and it is delivered as HTML with links intact).

The link will only become blue link when you either save as 'Draft' or Send.

It is not changed to a link (blue) whilst actually composing because it becomes very difficult when trying to edit it for any reason, hence why it is not altered until afterwards. This is normal.

To help you with checking : Save email as a Draft and then view the draft email to see it is ok. Then continue with composing or send.
