They rewrite links?! Why? When?

  In gmail's web interface they have ~always done this. In IMAP-accessed accounts, they are doing it if you have advanced protection turned on for your Google Account. It breaks PGP signatures, among other things. There's no way I found to turn it off, and there was no announcement that they were starting. I submitted it around the day it started (~2 months ago) but my submission was flagged. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24818024 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24818024 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10173182 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10173182

  Probably for protection against malware and phishing. Huh, Outlook 365 has been doing this for a while (it prefixes the url with its domain), I've only realized now how privacy-breaching it is.
