I'm trying to send an email with html and links to pages.
Simple example of what I am doing:
testlink = 'www.yahoo.com'
email_body = "<html><body>Testing Emails with HTML<br><a href='%s'
target='new'>first link test</a><br><a href='www.yahoo.com'>second link
test</a></body></html>" % testlink
mail.send(to=['[email protected]'],
subject='testing links',
message=email_body)
Details:
-There are two links, one using %s with testlink and one just using <a
href='www.yahoo.com'> I am trying both ways just to play around with the
emails and python, still new to a lot of this and learning.
-The mail is working, it sends to my yahoo account just fine
-I know I can get html emails in my yahoo account because I've gotten other
working emails with html and links in them.
-I'm pretty sure the html part is working because I see the text correctly,
the <br>'s are working, and the text to the links are underlined as if they
are links, however they aren't actually links to anything.
-I am using google app engine and my gmail account to send this email.
To be clear, I get an email that looks like this:
Testing Emails with HTML
first link test <----------This is blue and underlined, but when I
hover the mouse over it it is not actually a link
second link test <--------- This is blue and underlined, but when I hover
the mouse over it it is not actually a link
When I view the page source for these links I see something like this:
<a id="yui_3_7_2_1_1364943360317_3597" rel="nofollow">second link test</a>
How does this:
<a href='www.yahoo.com'>second link test</a>
get translated to this:
<a id="yui_3_7_2_1_1364943360317_3597" rel="nofollow">second link test</a>
??
I can't figure out why the links aren't showing up correctly. Is there
something wrong with my code? Something I can't do with gae or yahoo? What
am I doing wrong?
Thanks
