Outlook adding destination URL in square brackets after hyperlink in HTML e-mail

Bit of a head scratcher here, and I'm still waiting on some details.

The client reported that in Outlook, they are seeing the link in square brackets after the A tag. This apparently just started with the most recent round of e-mails I did for them, but the link code has not changed.

Here is an example of a link :

<p style='margin-bottom:20px !important;' >
  <a href="https://www.fepblue.org/pilot/login" style="color:#005172; text-decoration:none; font-weight: bold; font-size:18px;">Visit MyBlue to log on or register today.</a>
</p>

Here is an image of what they are seeing : http://rweststaging.com/webmd_emails/example/example.png

I've tested in Litmus, and sent out test e-mails through MailChimp, and I'm not seeing that on any of the outlook versions.

I thought it might be some setting on their particular Outlook install, but they reported only seeing that happen on this particular group of e-mails.
