Steps to reproduce:

I replied to an HTML newsletter. While editing my reply everything looks normal: Headlines with anchors (links) around them were visible.

Actual results:

The receiver - who also uses Thunderbird 91 - could not see the headlines. They were hidden via an automatically added "moz-do-not-send".

I could verify this behaviour in my sent folder and by sending such a mail to myself. In both cases, the links (headlines) were visually hidden, but present in the source code of the mail.

The same behaviour was already reported two years ago on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56827235/what-does-moz-do-not-send-do/56827825
The answers - and all web search results I found for "moz-do-not-send" were related to image handling.

Expected results:

As a general rule, links should continue to work in replies.

At least there should be a warning that Thunderbird will hide (certain) links.

From what I understand about "moz-do-not-send", this is intended to control image handling. So why does it hide (certain) links in replies? Looks like a bug to me.
