This is what I receive via e-mail after I click submit using the following code. As you can see - the html attribute <a href= shows up and the whole string in linked. All I was looking for is a link to the URL and the word - Click - to be underlined showing the link.
Additionally, the value (as in key/value) part of confirmation_ID is nowhere to be found in the query string. Thank you for any assistance.
