Ironically, these links turn out to be pretty much unusable without further
processing for me. When looking at the plaintext with my mailclient, the
links to not work as the trailing "$" is not recognised as part of the
link. So I end up at https://urldefense.us/jerror when clicking them.

Using html view instead, I can see the correct link targets, but when
clicking them I get a phishing warning from the mailclient as they don't
lead to the location they advertise.

So in either case, I need to manually copy, edit, confirm... is this
supposed to be a security improvement?
