Genuinely intrigued as to what issues can be avoided by copy-pasting a link that just clicking on it wouldn't achieve. Maybe they meant instead of typing it in?pic.twitter.com/LTWXASI9aK

I bet some clients would only use the first line when clicking the link, resulting in a broken URL

I always thought that this was because some email clients can block links. I don't know any that does but if they do, it would make sense to warn the user about this so they can copy and paste the full URL into a browser.

Although my case fits more into "if the link does not work ..." kind of warning texts.

The text you see may be different from the actual link.

Someone should tell them about URL shortening.
