How to remove "friendlier link" formatting in Outlook?
In April, Microsoft introduced "friendlier" links when linking to a file in OneDrive or SharePoint. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/friendlier-link-names-in-email-02040f47-bd56-4806-8311-...
We had this problem in our heavily styled email templates. I haven't seen a way to remove the formatting, but if you use the right click options to Paste (Keep Text Only): a little clipboard icon with "A" in the lower right corner. That just puts in the text of the link and applies zero formatting, but that's probably not the desired look.
I don't think this was tested a lot with emails that have lots of CSS formatting. Every link pasted in the email automatically goes into the gray background formatting and just messes things up. If you can contact your O365 tenant admin, they could probably start an incident ticket with Microsoft.
