I use an Office 365 inbox and all my links are rewritten like this:

https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Faustinhuang0131%2F&data=04%7C01%7Caustinhuang%40sampleemailaddress.com%7Cb5f7ed0cd3ca4977a2d808d914a3b367%7C81824d4b6a574db49a15217b19b2f9e9%7C0%7C0%7C637563515598406011%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=y2j9T1cvMgtQNR29%2Bn8Svj0PNorZSZS7J2ZQJoNwV84%3D&reserved=0

When sampleemailaddress is replaced with my actual email address, it will visit the URL as indicated in the url parameter. So is it possible to extract that parameter and undo the rewrite? Thanks. (Note that the first nam10 is just my region)

This is a feature request and not a bug with MailTrackerBlocker right?

I've been looking into detracking links. Looks like it's possible to do here but not in all cases because the redirect link is sometimes encoded then scrambled. May need another set of rules for this one.

Will keep this in mind, thanks for sharing that URL.

Yeah that's an enhancement, sorry for not indicating

This one is pretty clear, you can also look up on GitHub for more examples of this

Yep, yours is clear but I've seen clickable hyperlinks that look like this where it isn't possible (e.g. SendGrid):

Postmark URL redirect:

https://click.pstmrk.it/2s/mcgill-orientation-week-2021.eventus.io%2Fevent%2Fscience-frosh-online/43cDuiQN/LQlV/VKX8Hxeob8

Middle path, so redirects to https://mcgill-orientation-week-2021.eventus.io/event/science-frosh-online

safelinks.protection.outlook.com isn't for tracking, it is malware protection. And I think you can disable it in your Outlook.com settings.

@m-schmitt i don't think you can disable this on Office 365 (exchange) inboxes by yourself (not by company admin) (but i don't use it anymore so idrc at this point so correct me if i'm wrong)

also it still can track
