Out of curiosity: Which email service is opening links itself? Yes, they scan attachments or check for domains known being malicious but opening links??

If you don't visit the link, you only have the url to go by. If you visit the link, you can analyze the contents of the page as well.
So what happens when an email scanner opens a Slack link?
I too am curious about this.
