How to Disable Automatic Link Previews in MacOS Ventura

It appears there is a new *feature* in MacOS Ventura (v13.0) where Mail automatically changes URLs to Link Previews in rich text emails.


But I would rather NOT have it automatically change them — I prefer to have the URLs spelled out — and I cannot find a way to turn this feature off.


A colleague said he read somewhere that once you manually change it back that the application will recognize and not do it again. This did not work for me.


Anybody know how to make it stop making the Link Previews? Help...

I was able to disable this feature in mail, by going to Edit -> Substitutions -> Smart Links, and removing the check mark.
