Research direction
Start by reproducing the Outlook-to-K-9 Mail flow described in the issue on Android 6.01 with app version 5.806. Trace how the app handles long URLs and the attached winmail.dat, comparing the result with Gmail. Done means the URL remains one copyable link and the unexpected attachment is no longer added.
