Copying web addresses from safari to mail as links

Question

If I copy a web address (URL) from Google Chrome and paste it into Apple Mail, it pastes as a ready to click link.

Same thing using Safari and it pastes as text and I have to highlight it and do a command-K to make it a link.

Anyone know a way to modify Safari or cut-paste differently so Mail received the URL as a link?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

You can use the Share link at the top right hand corner to e-mail a link, but there is no way to modify cut and paste.

I see I can do that via command-I as well. That will help. Thank you!
