that have the names of the places they link to? For example, this: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ is a link to the ubuntu wiki, but how would I get it to say something like "Ubuntu Wiki" instead of the URL? In other words, text representing the link instead of the URL.

What you can do is enter the text you want to represent your link (ie; "Link"). Then highlight this word and click the icon above the Message Window that looks like a globe & chain (second from the right on my window). This asks for a URL. Enter your URL, and this will change "Link" into an active link.

Did that make sense?

you'll want something like
{url=http://wiki.ubuntu.com}Ubuntu Wiki{/url}

But replace the braces with square brackets ] & [

There should be a way to do this via the Message Editor Interface.
But it only posts the link and has no option to enter customized text.

Which really stinks. :)
