mostly guessing, but the unfiltered and rendered page contains much more
information while the "sanitised" one contains just a *really* long URL
(which, another guess, probably contains the recepient's ID embedded) with
no other details visible;

you raise an interesting point, and in my mythical spare time it would
be intriguing to fire up Wireshark to see what actually gets loaded when
opening such a message; from past experience when looking what gets
loaded when an innocuous looking web news page is opened with a browser,
the picture is not pretty ...
