Links without "https://" in emails sent to a board open a Trello page instead of the website

      Issue Summary

      When you create a card by sending an email to a board, any links in the email that don't start with https:// or http:// (the URL scheme) don't work as expected in the card description. Trello adds the card's own address to the start of each link, so selecting it opens a Trello page instead of the website.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Copy your board's email address. Go to Board menu > Settings > Email-to-board settings.
      1. Create an HTML email with linked text where the link doesn't start with https://, for example <a href="https://www.example.com">Example</a>.
      1. Send the email to the board's email address.
      1. Open the new card and hover over or select the link in the description.

      Expected Results

      The link opens the website: https://www.example.com

      Actual Results

      The link opens a Trello address instead: https://trello.com/c/<card-id>/https://www.example.com 

       

      Workaround

      Update the links in the original email so they start with https:// before the email is sent to the board. If the email comes from a form or automation tool, update the links in that tool's email template.
