Description
When posting rich text content through ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.postFeedElement, any hyperlinks

included in the message body are correctly displayed in Chatter. However, when the same content is sent as an email notification, the anchor tags appear as raw HTML instead of rendering as clickable links.
For example, in Chatter, the message appears correctly as:
LINK (Clicking redirects to the intended URL)
But in email notifications, it appears as attached :
This makes the email unreadable and causes formatting issues.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.postFeedElement using a message containing a hyperlink, then compare its Chatter rendering with the email notification. Trace the ConnectApiHelper path involved and determine what behavior is required for the email to render the link rather than display anchor markup as text.
