Investigate how to stop automatic linkify-ing in Gmail #1072

Open Katherine-Osos opened 12 months ago

Katherine-Osos commented 12 months ago

Issue Description

Gmail automatically inserts links when text includes a TLD (e.g. login.gov). Investigate how to remove those links from appearing in plain text emails.

Acceptance Criteria

Additional Context (optional)

Reference the screenshot in this PR where the issue was first discovered: https://github.com/cisagov/getgov/pull/1026

This may NOT be practical, and may be closed as a result. Most critical element of this is potential confusion when user sees THEIR domain as a link, possibly thinking that the website exists.

Recognizing this task is to "investigate", how confident are we that this is a thing we can change?

I'm under the impression that individual user agents are going to linkify URLs or email addresses according to their own logic. They may give users the ability the change the default, but not third-party senders like us.
