Thanks Luke.

RBE uses the plain-text version of the email when parsing the email for the reply.

I just took a look at the plain-text version of your reply and this is what is shown:

I was in this one <https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/?p=3D70164> but just got =
booted.=20

The forum post shows this:

I was in this one <https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/?p=70164&gt; but just got booted.

I'll try and take a closer look at the parsing later on, but I'm guessing the triangular brackets or the plain-text line wrap might be the issue. It could be a forum formatting issue as well.

  • Status changed from New to Staged for Production Release

Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/9d0764b0fdd9229ddc76a05f70c082cebd4d5849

The issue is when replying by email and adding a link with anchor text, the anchor-linked text is converted to plain-text format:

My link <https://commons.gc.cuny.edu>

When saved into the database, the triangular brackets get converted into HTML entities:

My link &lt;https://commons.gc.cuny.edu&gt;

And on the frontend, bbPress and BuddyPress will render the link as:

My link <https://commons.gc.cuny.edu&gt;

To fix this, I wrote a display filter to convert the triangular bracket HTML entities to circular brackets:

My link (https://commons.gc.cuny.edu)
