To be clear, the problem is not "with some email readers".

The problem is that it breaks the thread management features that are built 
into every email message, making it impossible to display threads correctly.

As can be seen here for example:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2017-January/thread.html

Note how most threads start in the leftmost column and replies are indented. 
But this does not occur where you began the new subject: "Clickable 
hyperlinks".

Thanks.
