Links Disappear on Announcements or Send Email Tool

Some links disappear in announcements when they are auto converted to a embed preview.

Description

In an Ultra View Course if a link is pasted and then the user hits return, the system tries to convert some links into embeds. Those embeds are stripped out of the resulting email. This happens in both the Send Email tool and in emailed Announcements.

Steps to Replicate

  1. Log into Blackboard Learn Ultra Experience as an administrator

  2. Create an Ultra View Course

  3. Paste a link on the body of the message and click on return for the link to be converted on an embed (Make sure there is no text after the link)

  4. Send
    ​

Observed Behavior:
The link on Course message or Announcement is deleted from the received message.
​Expected Behavior:
The link course message or Announcement is on the message received by the recipient.
