Displaying Long URLs in Incoming Emails - Need Help with Readability

Hi Thunderbird Community,

I started using Thunderbird yesterday. I am using the latest update, 28.7.1esr (64-bit).

I’m encountering an issue with how URLs are displayed in my incoming emails. Instead of showing shortened, clickable links, emails from LinkedIn and other sources display the entire lengthy URLs, which include various codes and symbols. This makes the emails difficult to read.

For example:

https://www.example.com/messaging/compose/?connId=exampleUser&lipi=urn%3Aexample%3Apage%3Aemail_email_accept_invite_digest_02%3Bb6%2FtTggbExample&midToken=AQFfExample&midSig=ExampleSig&trk=eml-email_accept_invite_digest_02-null-0-null&trkEmail=eml-email_accept_invite_digest_02-null-0-null-null-Example~Example~iq-null-null&eid=Example~Example-iq

The URLs show up in their full form rather than as clickable links or with descriptive text. I have checked the settings, but I could not find an option to improve the readability of these URLs.

Can anyone suggest a way to configure Thunderbird to display URLs in a more readable manner, similar to how they appear in Outlook or other email clients?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
