     Apple’s made some uncharacteristically awful design choices over the last few years, but taking a plain-text HTML link and turning it into a “preview” mail.app, thereby breaking many a recipient’s ability to properly see said link, is up there right at the top of the list of “our fixing of a thing is actually what broke it” stupid.
