The problem is with the HTML Cleaner library which K9 uses
(http://htmlcleaner.sourceforge.net/)
This does the 'cleans' the following
<ul><a href="...">Link text</a>
into this
<a href="..."></a>
<ul>
Link text
</ul>
so the link text is still there - just not inside the anchor tag - so you
can't click on it! Which makes the link unclikable.
No while this may be correct HTML it breaks the link and so makes the
email. Perhaps this should be reported as a bug to HTMLCleaner?
This is lazy formatting (using the ul tag without li tag to indent some
text) and I have contacted the sender but I'm not confident about them
wanting to fix this. I would rather have a more relaxed formatting of the
email which is still usable.
Has K9 recently started using HTML Cleaner?
Thanks
Paul
