so I have used the <a href="LINKTOITEM CONTENT BOX">View item</a>

quite successfully for a couple of years. Suddenly this week users started complaining the links didn't work. On analysis I find that depending on the context, I'm getting wrappers around the correctly formatted url. On viewing the communication via outlook I get an outlook wrapper, and on teams a teams wrapper. See outlook example:
https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox/id/**https://hostname.sharepoint.com/sites/Reconciliations/Orders/7P620%20-%20Business%20and%20Finance%20586**
I find that if I dewrap the url between the asterisks it opens quite nicely.
1. can anyone tell me why my hyperlinks are getting wrapped?
2. is there a way to make Teams and Outlook stop adding the wrapper to my hyperlinks?
