I am creating an HTML email to be sent to a user. If there is a valid email address to within an HTML email, Outlook will render it (normally helpfully) as a mailto: link. Unfortunately, that's not the desired behavior in the particular email I'm sending.
How do I stop Outlook from doing this?

about:preferences Applications, mailto: Select the unwanted application from the Action dropdown list. Select the Action dropdown again, but this time choose "Application Details..." Select "Remove" on the details popup. Select "Ok" This is where I expected to be done in the past, but that didn't work, so keep going.
"mailto:" is a URI scheme that indicates that the following text is an email address. So it helps computers to understand the semantics of the text. This is in the same way that "http:" is a URI scheme that indicates that the following text is an address of a site that can be accessed using the http protocol.
Once you've inserted a mailto link, click the linked text to open the toolbar and then click the link icon. Select Edit from the drop-down.
Outlook doesn't recognize this pattern as an email: @[text]@[text].[text]
Thus adding before the email:
<a style="color: black; text-decoration: none"><font style="display: none">@</font>**email**</a> and
<style>font {display: none}</style> in the <head> tag will remove the mailto link.
