I have registration form with activation. So the user register his accoount then he receive email with link to activate his account. The problem is that the link is appear in the email like text not like URL. What can be the problem? Here is activate.blade.php

Hello {{ $username }}<br><br>
Please activate your account using the following link<br><br>
---<br>
{{ $link }} <br>
---

And here is the AccountController mail send

Mail::send('emails.auth.activate', array(
                  'link' => URL::route('account-activate', $code), 
                  'username' => $username), 
                  function($message) use ($user) {
   $message->to($user->email, $user->username)->subject('Activate your account');
});

Because you need to create an html link, if you want it to be clickable:

Hello {{ $username }}<br><br>
Please activate your account using the following link<br><br>
---<br>
<a href="{{$link}}">{{$link}}</a><br>

Although some email clients already do that automatically, I think.

URL::route('account-activate', $code) creates only the url, not the link.
