When forwarding incoming HTML to a text-only list, most mailing list
servers will put the hyperlinks in a footnote, so that that long links
won't obscure the text they apply to. (The better ones only do this when
text text and its hyperlink differ; if the text and its hyperlink match
(like when you have <a href="XX">XX</a> for any XX) then nothing is gained
by duplicating it. That would appear to be the case with this mailing list.)

Some mail receivers (e.g. Gmail) will convert bare text that looks like a
hyperlink back into a hyperlink, which is how you get clickable links in
the footnote.
