Prevent Gmail from creating links for URLs and email addresses

I had a same issue and found out if you use email like this;

<a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration:none; color:#333'>[email protected]</a>

email providers does not tend to follow email as a link.

Hope this helps.

There's no way to stop creating URLs, because its automatically checked by the email provider that whether the text is a valid URL.

Only way to overcome this is, deceiving the parser. Just put spaces, HTML tags, whatever in such a way that the parser can't identify like URL etc.

Here are a few code examples:

http:<span>//foolishedsiteparser.com</span>
_http://www.parsersmashed.com
noonesemail<x>@</x>linkdead.com>

And the result is the following:

http://foolishedsiteparser.com
_http://www.parsersmashed.com
[email protected]
