  Maybe my comment isn't clear when viewed in isolation, but I was (and I believe OP was) talking about rewriting href of a tags, or in the case of bare links, rewriting the text altogether. So adding a data-saferedirecturl attribute and using that in the click handler is entirely different. Btw the data-saferedirecturl attribute is not found in the email bodies when downloaded via IMAP. I didn't check Gmail's REST API but I assume someone else has checked that too with a client using that. I mean, given the linked screenshots, the accusation is very clear, and no one has thus far reproduced anything close to that. (Incidentally I'm no stranger to Google redirects. I don't use webmail normally, but I did write an extension to remove the redirects from Google SERP...)

    > So adding a data-saferedirecturl attribute and using that in the click handler is entirely different. The end result is the same. Gmail is rewriting url in their web interface. While there isn't enough evidence yet to decide whether they're attempting to do the same for IMAP, the fact that they do it in the web interface is undeniably true.
