This is not as easy as it seems. I was not able to remove the link from the https:// url as that gets auto created anyhow, even if not specified. So this patch tries to improve the display by adjusting the format:

* adding line breaks
* adding spaces
* adding alternative text which is used instead of image in full simplification to plain/text

Can you try this email? How doe sit look in outlook?

I have not touched the provider display. I would even go one step further and completely remove the provider from the link. For the receiving party, there is no gain to know which add-on (!) the sender used to upload the file.

To remove the superfluous download links, one has to remove the full spelled out link entirely. In the simplified view one gets the filename and the link, in the original HTML view one only gets the filename and has to hover over the link to see its src. I do not like that. I would instead accept the inconvenience to have the link 3 times in simplified view. Comments?
