Control Gmail auto-link styling
Short answer:
Gmail automatically turns phone numbers and addresses into clickable links. You can prevent this styling by wrapping the content in an empty <a href=""> tag.
Gmail automatically detects phone numbers and addresses in emails and converts them into clickable links.
When users click an address, it opens Google Maps in webmail or on mobile devices. Tapping a phone number on a mobile opens the dialer. This improves usability, as users can interact with contact details instantly without copying and pasting.
However, this behavior can affect your email design. Gmail applies its own default styling (blue and underlined), which may conflict with your brand guidelines or reduce readability.
To prevent Gmail from applying this styling, you can wrap the content in an empty link with your own styling applied:
<a href="" style="text-decoration: none;">
<font color="#696969" face="Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif" style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt;text-decoration: none;">
((Street))
</font>
</a>This keeps your design consistent while still displaying the information clearly.
