I don't know if this is interesting or helpful, but I made a Chrome extension for helping test email information in Gmail. It would probably help in this instance to notify somewhat that something isn't correct.
I updated it after my initial upload to enable links (defaults to no links but can click a button to enable links). I just haven't gotten around to re-uploading the plugin. After some thought I definitely feel that just removing links altogether was too much. I will update the plugin after work.
