<p dir="auto">I don't think it's something you have changed. Although I cannot recall the details then I probably just improved the HTML to text converter at some point.</p>

<div style="white-space:normal">
<p dir="auto">Note that Markdown is supposed to be simple readable plain text and therefore it's also reasonable to convert to Markdown when trying to generate plain text from HTML. For example, this should result in reasonably good conversions of emphasized text or HTML lists. In general, MailMate always tries to loose as little information as possible.</p>
<p dir="auto">BUT these ridiculously long URLs are certainly a problem, especially when using the plain text non-Markdown mode of MailMate. I guess MailMate could automatically strip (or “not create”) the Markdown URLs when the user does not use Markdown by default, but I think it should be optional. Maybe it should even be an integer option only stripping links longer than X characters. You could then set it to 0.</p>
<p dir="auto">Does that sound like an acceptable solution for you?</p>

I don't want or need Markdown. I absolutely do not need or want a blob of "quoted" text which is neither the text I saw in the original nor the HTML of the original. I may be misremembering but I believe that MM used to do what I want it to do. How can I get that back?</p>

<p dir="auto">A quick fix is to find the file within the application bundle which uses this command:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">"${MM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT}/html2text"
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">And then add <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">--ignore-links</code> to its arguments, but this change is of course overwritten whenever you update MailMate.</p>
