Post a message with a link. Somebody replies by email to it. When Discourse handles the email reply, it improperly includes the link from the previous message. Here’s an example:

Interesting, @techapj can you have a look when you get a chance? That seems like a bug related to email reply handling. Low priority though.

Is this still an issue?

Actually it think it might show up again since I added the elided part of the email. Will check to make sure it doesn’t count as part of the post when checking the links.
