Description
I just received a "someone is tracking you" email and was viewing it in plaintext using mutt. The footer reads like this:
-----------
Unsubscribe: https://keybase.io/_/user/account?unsub=1&which=follow&a=<some token>#link-tab-subscriptions
Mail settings: https://keybase.io/_/user/account?a=<some token>#link-tab-subscriptions
The unsubscribe link is needlessly converted to &, even though the mail is plaintext.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that generates the plaintext email footer and reproduce the reported output in mutt or an equivalent plaintext view. Trace why the unsubscribe URL's ampersands and angle brackets are HTML-encoded, then verify that plaintext footers contain usable URLs without HTML entities.
