ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The links appear to be legitimate. Open the context menu and selecting "open URL" works.
This problem applies to Akregater as well.

If I start Kontact from a terminal I observe "Can not adopt content from a different WebEngineProfile." when I left click on the link.

cannot be opened with a left click.

Please Note: This problem has existed for years. Maybe nobody was annoyed enough to report it.
