Insert unclickable link (as text) in Reactive email

Hi All,

I have to send a hyperlink in email body but it should be unclickable(plain text) when the receiver receives the email.

I tried the suggestions given in the following post, but it didn't help:

Hi,

I added the attribute to the link and also set the RedirectToUrl as "" , still I am receiving the text as link in email.

Hi. 

Would styling it as a link but make it just an expression fulfill your use case?

Hi,

I tried to keep the URL as text as well as expression in the email template , but once the receiver receives the email, it is appearing as link.

Hi, 

I am saying, instead of using a link just use a normal text, and style the text as an link, like changing its color to blue.

Hi, I tried using normal text and it turns into link after the receiver receives the email.

Also I don't want to style the text as link , I want to send as text only.

To make a hyperlink unclickable in the body of an email, you can simply paste it as regular text, without using the `<a>` tag. Instead of inserting the link using HTML, just write the URL in plain text without any HTML tags. For example, instead of `<a href="https://www.example.com">https://www.example.com</a>`, simply write `https://www.example.com`. This way, the recipient will see the link as plain text and cannot be clicked.
