Anchor tags to bookmarks within emails not working in Office365 OWA web portal

r years, we've had longer newsletter-style emails which include links throughout the email such as "<a href="#action">please take our action today</>" and then we include "<a id="action" name="action"></a>"
in that section of the email.  This works in all email clients we've used for years, including Outlook 2010 and hotmail - including the recent upgrades.
However, in the Outlook 365 web portal, it converts the href anchor tags to plain text, appearing as "[#action]please take our action today"
in both the "preview panel" as well as when you double click the message to open in a new window.  
Fascinatingly, this same email will both view fine when viewed from the Outlook 2010 desktop AND when you forward this message from the web portal, it shows fine in the Compose window.
And recipients of that message can of course see and use the bookmark anchor links properly.
We upgraded about a month ago to the latest version of Office 365.  We are using an Office 365 Enterprise E1 for Exchange license.
This behavior happens consistently on Macs and PC browsers, in IE, Chrome, Mozilla, Safari.
Help!

  • GW8.0.1 Client: Links within Emails not working

    We have serveral users at my company that when they click on an external link within an email it will open IE8 and never bring up the page. All it does is open a new tab within IE8 and stays idle claiming it's "connecting". I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client on a few workstation but no luck? I cant seem to find a tid available for a fix so have turned to the forum for answers. Does anyone have a solution to this problem or having the same issue I am.
    Please help,

    Hi,
    made some tests:
    1.
    GW 8.0.1HP1 (GW Setting for html browser: default)
    IE6
    - Open links work fine but all in several windows with each want the proxy auth data
    2.
    GW 8.0.1HP1 (GW Setting for html browser: Internet Explorer)
    IE6
    - Open links work fine but all in several windows with each want the proxy auth data
    3.
    GW 8.0.1HP1 (GW Setting for html browser: Internet Explorer)
    IE8 (After OS Update)
    - Open links work fine but all in several windows and the proxy auth data were needed only once
    4.
    GW 8.0.1HP1 (GW Setting for html browser: Standard Browser)
    IE8 (After OS Update)
    - Open links work only if IE8 already were opened. After first site was sucessfully opend, all other links will be opened in tabs (like it should be).
    5.
    GW 8.0.1HP1 (GW Setting for html browser: Mozilla/Firefox)
    FF 3.6.2
    - If i view a html mail as text i have a strange behaviour: it opens 2 windows one with the link i clicked on and one with the browser default page (google in my case). For all following links i click, it opened a new window with the default page....
    - If i view it as a html mail, it opens correctly but all in several windows. Only one time proxy auth is required
    6.
    GW 8.0.1HP1 (GW Setting for html browser: Standard Browser)
    FF 3.6.2
    - Doesn't matter if i view mails as text or html, always open the first window and all following links in new tabs. Like it should be...
    I hope this will help.
    But although i have the "problem" with newsletter or such stuff with external elements (e.g. images) from different servers/domains. For each different domain, our customer have to fill in his proxy auth data. Someone have the same experience and a solution for this? (Except a proxy without Authentication :P)

  • Bookmarks and Hyperlinks not Working in PDF's

    Hi,
    I have 2 pdf files, one has extensive bookmarks which do not work. The other pdf has anchor links to refer you to certain areas in the document some work and some do not. How can i fix this in Acrobat Pro 11

    Hi,
    Thanks, I have found the actions details and can set the pages I want. The
    other file has hyperlinks to anchor text I think, not bookmarks, but when
    you right click there is no info given only document properties. Any idea
    how I can fix those links in the pdf. And again thanks for your help.

  • Anchor tags (aka "bookmarks") break in RH 7 HTML

    We use several anchor tags, aka bookmarks, to sections of our
    Robohelp pages.
    These URLs look like this:
    http://www.exampledomain.com/Help/index.htm#Frequently_Asked_Questions.htm#Question_two
    These links worked great in Robohelp 5: Question two of the
    FAQ page loaded at the top, inside the robohelp shell.
    Now in Robohelp 7, these anchor tags no longer work inside of
    the shell - the page loads at the top of the FAQ page and the
    #Qustion_two anchor is disregarded.
    I know that the anchor tag is there and working because when
    I load the page without the robohelp shell at this URL:
    http://www.exampledomain.com/Help/Frequently_Asked_Questions.htm#Question_two
    Question two loads at the top of the page.
    Why did this stop working?!!? How do I fix it without
    changing all my URLs? This "feature" is ruining my day. Bad enough
    that you rename anchor tags to bookmarks, now they don't even work.

    Hi Colum,
    Thank you for the welcome and the response.
    All I'm trying to find out is the URL to load the
    Frequently_Asked_Questions.htm page directly at the #Question_two
    anchor inside of the index.htm FlashHelp shell.
    In Robohelp x5, this used to be
    index.htm#Frequently_Asked_Questions.htm#Question_two
    With Robohelp 7, this url stopped working.
    I can load the FAQ page inside of the shell with
    index.htm#Frequently_Asked_Questions.htm
    I can load the FAQ page to the Question_two ancor without the
    index.htm shell with
    Frequently_Asked_Questions.htm#Question_two
    But I can't figure out any link that loads the Question_two
    anchor at the top of the FAQ page inside of the index.htm shell. In
    Robohelp 7, index.htm#Frequently_Asked_Questions.htm#Question_two
    just loads the FAQ page at the top.
    Thanks for your help,

    You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Instead of creating a new ID, change the primary email address on your existing ID.

  • Bookmark bar does not work on one of my computers - w XP

    Firefox 4.0 - the bookmark bar does not work. It appears but will not accept drags.
    PC w Windows XP - 3.
    Another thing too - The open new tab does not show up at all, in order to open a new tab I had to put the "open new tab" tab into the navigation toolbar.
    (Works fine on my other computer, & it drives me nuts to have to use Firefox w 2 different setups...)

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?  Have you tried republishing your site with the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option?

  • Incoming Email not working for one web app, but IS working for others in same farm.

    I have enabled incoming email in a large multi-web application farm running SharePoint 2013 SP1 and the Feb 2015/March 2015 CUs that were pushed down in Windows Updates.  It works just fine for two web applications, but it will not work for one particular
    web application. I see the email land in the /drop folder. If I remove the email address from the library in http://nonworkingapp web
    application and use it on a library in a http://working web application, then the email is processed successfully. Conversely,
    if I take an address from a library in http://working and move it to a library inhttp://nonworkingapp it
    does not work. I've tried multiple site collections on http://nonworkingapp. This rules out any SMTP issues, etc. and means
    the issue is bound to this web application. Permissions are the same between the "non-working" and "working" locations: domain users are members on the site, and the library inherits permissions from the site.  The App Pool and Timer
    Service accounts have rights to the folder and to the library.
    The error in the ULS log is the typical error processing message, but it gives no additional information even though I have enabled Verbose logging.
    The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00: 00.0156294. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message
    ID:
    Typically, you see "alias not found" or some permissions or quota issue here, but this issue is NOT the same as those. In this case NO additional information is provided in ULS.
    Edit: running stsadm.exe -o refreshdms -url http://one/failing/site fixed some similar issues where "Unknown alias" was
    reported even though the list did have an alias (see here:http://blogs.technet.com/b/vinitt/archive/2009/07/15/e-mail-enabled-list-alias-information-is-not-synchronized-between-configuration-database-and-content-database.aspx).
    This did not fix the issue for the case mentioned above.
    What could possibly be the issue preventing incoming email from working on this one web application?

    Thanks for your reply.  Incoming E-Mail was running on all 3 WFE, however I do not think this was the cause.  As noted, _other_ emails send to http://workingapp are working just fine.  I can send two emails - one to a library on http://workingapp
    and another on http://notworkingapp.  The email to http://notworkingapp will sit in the drop folder, while the one to http://workingapp will be processed correctly.  In addition, the ULS log on WFE1 indicates an attempt to process the file fails.
     So clearly, the timer job on WFE1 is running and attempting to process the file.  For kicks, I disabled the service on WFE2 and WFE3, but with no change in the behavior.
    WRT to #1, I have done this already (as noted in the original post).  I can remove an alias from http://workingapp and place it on http://nonworkingapp and it is not processed.  If I return it to http://workingapp it is processed.  In other
    words, I go into Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a working library, and copy the alias, then disable incoming email for that library.  I then go to Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a non-working library, enable incoming email, and paste
    the alias.  Once done, emails sent to the alias are not processed.  I then do the reverse, and it works again.
    On #2, I have already tried multiple libraries on http://nonworkingapp (also as noted in the original post).
    In my environment, incoming email does not work for any library on http://nonworkingapp, but does work for any library on http://workingapp.  Troubleshooting listed above has ruled out any problem with basic mail server configuration or library settings
    - the problem is bound to http://nonworkingapp
    I'm not sure what you mean by "steps to reproduce the issue".  If I knew that, I would probably be able to solve the issue.  The best I could come up with to describe the situation would be:
    Set up SP 2010 in a three-node configuration with multiple web apps
    Enable incoming email and confirm it works
    Migrate to a SP2013 SP1 farm in a three node configuration.
    Enable a new email alias for a library
    Observe that it doesn't work for one web application.
    Obviously, it's pretty unlikely that attempting that in a lab would actually have the same result.

  • Share photos by email not working. Brings up grayed out check box? Want to share photos thru Entourage.

    Share photos by email not working in Photos Version 1.0 (209.52.0) on a Macbook Pro 17" Yosemite 10.10.3.  Brings up grayed out check box? Want to share photos thru  MS Entourage for Mac 2008 Ver. 12.3.6  Thanks!

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • Sharing by email not working in PSE10

    Hi there.  I upgraded from 6 to 10 yesterday and things were going relatively smoothly until I tried to email some attachments.  I'm operating on a Windows 7 computer and was trying to share via email attachments.  I select my photos and the contact that I want to send it to and then it just goes into limbo with the little moving circle.  One time the actual message box came up, but then my attachments were too big, so I reselected some and I haven't been able to get the message box to come up again.  Just been trying to do one picture as a test, so its not a size issue at this point.  With an old computer I used to do it through Outlook, but don't have that on here as it is a work computer and we use Notes, so I was using the Adobe Mail Services option tied to an email which did get verified.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.  Amy

    Thanks for trying, but what you have suggested did not work.  Every time I try to share photos via email, the software crashes.  This is extremely frustrating.  As far as I am concerned, this software has been a huge waste of time and money.

    How do you do anchors - the three ways listed did not work.  I am using the jQuery mobile template 11.
    You have aroused my curiousity, what are three ways listed that do not work? At risk of being labeled as an ignoramus, could you also tell me where to get the other 10 templates?
    I usually give an element an ID and use that in my link as in
    <a href="#mySpot">Go to my spot</a>
    <div id="mySpot">

  • C6-00. PUSH EMAIL not working and Nokia Messaging ...

    Nokia Messaging doesn't delete / expunge with IMAPand PUSH EMAIL not working.. C6-00

    I had a bad experience with my gmail account. It was really slow. 15min looks to work but it won´t make it faster as push email is not supported by gmail when using nokia devices ( I have read it somewhere on a gmail mobile compatibility chart at google help pages)
    I have created an ovi mail account and it works as push email on my c6 00 (latest firmware). I have setup gmail to send a copy of all the incoming emails to my ovi account, so I have instant feedback at my phone of incoming mails.
    The bad news of this workaround is that when I reply i´m doing it from my ovi account where y erase the mails after reading as I have the original mail at gmail.
    I hope this helps someone that needs push+gmail.
