Notification link results in 404

I published my first blog post since installing and testing Email Subscriber & Newsletter. Below is the notification that is sent out. As you can see, before and after the actual link, there is some text or coding. Not knowing what this is, I am only guessing it is some kind of code in the plugin. I have noticed that when some people click on it from a device, the entire line of text acts like a link and they get a 404 Page not found. Also, there is strange text in the next paragraph regarding unsubscribing. What are all that extra text and symbols doing in the notification and how can I get rid of it.

What is this? “< a >” “herf” “&” and all the extra text? I had to add some spaces below to keep it from showing up here as an actual link.

Being a nonprofit, I need the links to show up correctly and not have all that other stuff. It isn’t very pleasing or profession. Please help and thank you.
