problem in opening links to an external browser

[martgil]

Description:

A user reported to us that an email contains links that are not clickable from the FlowCrypt app. I don't see quite a difference between the links that work and links that don't work.

I've investigated the issue and confirmed that certain links are indeed not invoking the default browser when the link is clicked.

The email came from kraken.com's new device login approval but I believe it would be more of a general issue.

Steps to replicate the issue:
(pre-requisite: kraken account) - https://www.kraken.com/en-us/sign-in
tested on: FlowCrypt android app v1.3.0

1. Let's assume that you've already have an account at kraken.com
2. trigger the 'new device login approval' email by logging in your account through their android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kraken.invest.app)
3. an email will be sent to your address containing the confirmation email for new device approval.
4. the 'approve device' text is rendered as a hyperlink but clicking so will do just nothing.

To save some time in replicating the issue, I'll send a sample email that produces the said problem. (email subject contains the github issue number)

Hi @martgil. It's a little strange. I can open this link.

Could you re-check the current issue?

@DenBond7 It's strange. I can open the link now, too.

Thanks for looking into this - I'll close the issue for now and update the user to check if it is now working on their end.

I'll just re-open the issue or create a new one if the issue persists. Thank you!

The user responded and confirmed that it is now working fine :D Thanks again!
