We often email serial numbers which are 11 digits long, but when they are sent / received in mail, they become blue and underlined (believe this is called a smart link). How do I prevent this from happening? In the same email - an 8 digit number is sent normally. Using Mojave OS

The email thinks it's a telephone number, one with the country code. If you double click on the link it will try to call that number with FaceTime.
If you put any letter or dash in front of the number it won't be linked.
Did you notice this with previous systems? If not then it's a bug that should be reported to Apple via https://www.apple.com/feedback/macos.html.

Thanks for the assistance, however when you are scanning several hundred serial numbers, it is counter productive to place text in front, only to remove it again when wanting to copy and paste that into another spreadsheet.

Be sure to report it to Apple. I did so if they get more reports they might give it some priority to fix.
