Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with Kibana alert emails sent through an SMTP connector.

Kibana version: 9.4.3

Alert message:

La règle Kibana {{rule.name}} s'est déclenchée:

- Nombre d'erreurs : {{context.value}}

- Seuil configuré : {{context.conditions}} over {{rule.params.timeWindowSize}}'{{rule.params.timeWindowUnit}}

- Date de détection : {{context.date}}

- Lien : {{context.link}}

- Using {{context.link}} on its own line

- Removing HTML tags

- Using HTML anchor syntax

- Using Markdown formatting

- Sending the link as raw text

- Is this a known issue with {{context.link}} in Kibana 9.4.3?

- Could this be related to server.publicBaseUrl?

- Has anyone seen Outlook alter links generated by Kibana alert emails?

- Is there a recommended alternative such as {{rule.url}} or {{context.viewInApp}}?
