[JamesAASK]

What happened?

I receaved an email saying my extension was approved but the link in the email took me to a page that says "We're sorry, but we can't find what you're looking for." the link in the email is https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/addon/2865445/versions.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected it to take me to the extension page

Is there an existing issue for this?

Were you logged in with an account that is an author of the extension you received an email for ?

nvm, I see the problem, it's the "." at the end. We should add a space to prevent this from happening since this is a plain text email... ~~Or maybe support an optional . at the end of these URLs and redirect...~~

We decided to:

• Add a space or remove the period after the links
• Add a sentence (like suggested in https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/15008#issuecomment-2340081247) saying "This link is accessible only when logged in as the author of the add-on".
