To be make my previous question a bit more precise, is it a bug on Thunderbird’s part that it puts `class="moz-txt-link-freetext` into hyperlinks in emails that it sends? Is it a bug on Discourse’s part that the presence of such a tag causes the `<a>...</a>`-enclosed URL to be dropped from the body of the message and subsequent `<br>` tags to be ignored?
