    We’re going in circles. How do you know a name that looks like a link is actually a link or a real name?

    How do you solve that problem in a way that names that look like links are still accepted?

    Plus the way email clients parse plain text is not the university’s website’s responsibility. Today, it’s links. Tomorrow, it’s “embedded AI prompts” or “mini-QR codes,” or “new format telephone numbers,” etc.
