The link's destination URL starts with
"https://encrypt.barracudanetworks.com/login?nid=";.
The rest is a very long alpha-numeric string.

How did you determine that this is the destination URL? That's what you see, in the HTML-formatted E-mail?

I'll be happy to send you an HTML message with a link whose destination URL seems to be https://www.whitehouse.gov, but once clicked you'll wind up on https://pornhub.com

Would you like to conduct this harmless experiment?

I'm using Thunderbird on Fedora-28; there is no "anti-virus" available. Is this safe?

Well, if you were running MS-Windows it would definitely be not safe.
