This has been happening lately, I will copy a link and email it to myself and it looks good, but when I hover over the link there's no "dot" after the www so the link doesn't work, any suggestions?
If you click on this link or copy it and then hover over it you will see there's no "dot" after the www

How exactly are you mailing the link to yourself? What browser are you starting with? What email service are you using? Can you paste the link into notepad before mailing? It would be interesting to know when the dot disappears.

Both browsers are chrome.
I just copy the URL and paste into Outlook 365 and open the email in Outlook 2021.
I'm sure I could paste into Notepad, will try that next time I'm at work.

I'm thinking it's something Outlook is doing. I tried copying a URL from Chrome to notepad and it was correct. Sent it to myself via gmail and was able to open it without a problem.
Try telling Outlook to send in plain text or rich text rather than the default of HTML. Also uncheck the option to Reduce Message size. (File, Options, Message Format)

Changed both of those options and restarted Outlook, still doing the same thing, taking out the "dot."

Did you close Outlook and restart it after making the changes?
Did you ever verify using notepad that the dot was still there before you pasted into Outlook?
You might try resetting Outlook:

It might be a problem with the website. When I either copy and paste in to my Firefox browser or right click and open I get the following: https://wwwrealtor.c...92656/sort-sold.
