this looks like mozilla messes up plaintext mail by converting text from

client1.internal.yourcompany.com

to
client1.internal.yourcompany.com<http://client1.internal.yourcompany.com>

..and I wanted to complain about Donald's outlook client which does the same 
sh*t.

this is strange, my dnsmasq.conf (2.85, debian 11) states:

# Provide an alias for a "local" DNS name. Note that this _only_ works
# for targets which are names from DHCP or /etc/hosts. Give host
# "bert" another name, bertrand
#cname=bertand,bert

I haven't tried that yet, but that would confirm this as a bug.

I usually put host names+IPS to /etc/hosts and ethernet addresses to
/etc/ethers, I believe this would solve this problem.
