Description

When a release is created, semantic release bot sends an email that looks like this

where it says The release is available on followed by a link to the GitHub release.

However, for one of our packages, although a release is created in GitHub, the email looks like this

So instead of a link it is effectively a piece of text. I am trying to fathom out what on earth would cause this difference. Can anybody shed any light?
