> I don't think it's a good use of time working on this ticket. Removing
links to wp-admin from emails is not going to happen because it's a
significant UX degradation.
I've been also thinking on this. The fact that some email could provide a
valid useful `wp-admin` link goes against that fact. On the other side,
there could be the problematic that spam filters can simply be ditching
these emails rendering slightly useless and forcing people to simply edit
those emails manually to make them pass.
From an admin perspective, this is pretty straightforward: whitelisting
the `From:` is the best way to go. So I agree I would not be touching
those.
But what I want to do is an analysis, is to see if there are any
`Subscriber`-level emails sending emails with a `wp-admin` of any sort and
if there are potential workarounds or not. Subscribers going into spam
could be a big loss.
