RE: [IMail Forum] Non-HTML e-mail has no links in 2006.1

[Marc Catuogno]

Actually one complaint has been that some newsletters are plain text with embedded links, sometimes the links are long, and now they are not able to click on them and it is a pain.  I was just explaining how to easily duplicate what I was talking about using Outlook.   I think most e-mail clients or interfaces would have shown this as a clickable link.  We had to change our “listing watch” e-mail from plain text to HTML so the agents could click the links.   Below is an example:   From: "ShowingValue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent 9/26/2006 6:09:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ShowingValue - New Showing Update There has been new showings on your listings for Sep 26, 2006.

Be happy that they canot jsut clicking on links.  This is a safety boost if nothing else.

Open this e-mail in the webclient if you are using it and Outlook then you will see what I mean.

I've been told that even when the text has the proper anchor tags, the links are just plain text. I think this was a bit short sighted and should be fixed.I try to convince all my users to send in plain text whenever possible, now when they do their links don't work....
