What

Disable web page (embedded link) previews on Telegram messages sent by Evie.

Why

Messages containing URLs currently expand into large link-preview cards in the chat, adding visual noise to conversational output.

Where

Both send paths in src/telegram/view.rs build requests without any link-preview option:

ViewOp::Send → bot.send_message(...) (src/telegram/view.rs:174)
ViewOp::Edit → bot.edit_message_text(...) (src/telegram/view.rs:159)

Both need the preview disabled so it applies to the initial send and every subsequent streaming edit.

Suggested fix

Set link preview options to disabled on both requests, e.g. teloxide's .link_preview_options(LinkPreviewOptions { is_disabled: true, ..Default::default() }) (or .disable_web_page_preview(true) if that's the version in use).
