Description

This issue has been migrated from [#2059](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2059).

---

Given we haven't taken over the world with mx:// URLs yet, and matrix.to is clunky as hell, we should consider just deep-linking email notification links to Riot (or other clients) where we can see that the target user only uses a single client.

In other words, if all the sessions for a given user have a UA of Riot, let's just send them Riot-branded emails with links that go straight to https://riot.im/app/...

Thanks to @wjt for pointing out the soln here :)
