Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I often get a suspicious link warning, even when the domain name of the text matches the url.
Another small issue: I don't think most non-technical people understand what href is here.
Describe the solution you'd like
If the domain name matches the text, don't show a warning.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Search the mail app for the suspicious-link warning and inspect how displayed link text is compared with its URL. Done means matching domains, including the requested www prefix and trailing-slash cases, no longer trigger a warning and the user-facing terminology is clearer than “href”.
