For PMs, please try visiting this page and choosing this setting:
https://slickdeals.net/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions
Message Editor Interface: Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls
Make sure to click save.
It's not perfect, and it won't change what other members send to you, but it helps a lot.
Another thing that can sometimes help is to not preview your PM before you send it.

For the links, can you please share a few examples of threads where this happens?
