 Password reset links contain the username appended to the end of the URL.
 If the user name ends in a period the email client has to decide if the
 period is part of the URL or part of the punctuation of the sentence.  For
 example:

 <https://some-wordpress-site.com/wp-
 login.php?action=rp&key=V4LSmgBcwtqvFPEiFt0e&login=p.o.>

 Gmail generates a clickable link that stops short of the final period.
 Outlook successfully links the entire URL.
