Ventura macOS16 Mail app link html preview

How to stop this?

When adding or receiving emails with a link to a website in Ventura Apple Mail.app it is showing the html view in the Mail. For example a link to a YouTube movie it will show the first frame. Some other sites in there entirely.

I looked at every setting in Mail.app and can’t find it how to turn this off.

What did I miss???

Looks like it’s not something that can be changed by default:

Unfortunate.

I’d turn it off if I could, too.

The only way to stop it from showing is to click on the little V on the html preview and choose send as link only.
Sooooo annoying,
