What's Wrong?

As of few days GMail MCP is rewriting - silently URL in the emails created as drafts with google tracking URLs - this is privacy nightmare and it's been done silently without telling anyone.

This should be fixed immediately and this "feature" should be opt-in.

What Should Happen?

URLs should be passed verbatim and not modified on the flight.
