HTML email - link problem

I created an HTML email in dreamweaver. It looks great on my Mac and in Mac Mail. I sent it out and some people on PCs have a blue box around the links. Much like the ones in DreamWeaver when you are working on file. Even to the point where the slices are out of place because blue stroke takes up space.
Do you know how to fix this? Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much! It's the first time that I received an answer and it was quick,
easy and perfect! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lion Mail5.1 HTML emails display problems...

Hello all Lion Professionals,
Does anyone know why I see some HTML emails in a very bad way?
When I receive emails that includes pictures and HTML code the message fall apart, the images included in the message are there, but as an attachment...
It doesn't matter how it was the e-mail written 'bad evidence#2' when I've simply send to myself one test note from my own mail app, or simply a get a formatted newsletter 'bad evidence#1' from one partner (which it is perfect in any others mail applications and OS)...
Generally the Apple system emails are displayed properly...
Now I use Mail5.1(OS Lion) but I've face this problem before with Snow Leo too!
Just for checking this problem and the system, I've use for Thunderbird for Mac, and this problem does not appear at all, unfortunately Thunderbird does not fit my needs for other reasons.
I dont know what to do, if anyone can help please do it!
TNX in advance
Ghermy

Hi,
I just hope that I would have a great day, and this command line will change the way I can receive HTML emails... I did what U suggest but the prob remain, it is still here :-(
and after I run the line : defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 1
and test again with: defaults read com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing I get '1' as a result, it is not suppose to change something...
I'm dissapointed, I'm still make puzzles :-(
Anyway U help me more than anyone! TNX! :-)

Safari email link problem...

Hi. Hoping to find some help as I can't seem to enter the right query into Google.
Up until the other day I could click an email link in Safari and it would automatically open Mail so I could type my message. Now it doesn't work like that. It wants me to copy and paste the email address into Mail.
I've been through the Preferences in both Safari and Mail. Everything seems to be ok. Just can't seem to find the solution.
It's not that big a pain unless I'm cruising Craigslist or something like that.
Thanks for any input!
JTG

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Sending HTML email having problem Hotmail

I am sending a HTML email with embedded images the images are appearing fine in Outlook and Yahoo, but in Hotmail the images are displaying but also showing up as attachments. Has anyone had this problem?
thanks

Hi,
I've had a similar problem. I'm trying to outsource my images and style sheets from our website.
I add a text part to the email also and this then shows in Hotmail. The HTML part is still ignored. My code is the following...
private static boolean sendMessage(String[] to, String subject, String message, String from, String[] filelocation) {
    try {
      String recievers = StringWizard.arrayToText(to, ", ");
      System.err.println("Email.sendMessage() : creating a new email for " + to[0] + " from " + from + ".");

InternetAddress[] reply = { fromAddress };

myMessage.setFrom(fromAddress);
myMessage.setReplyTo(reply);
for(int i=0;i<to.length;i++) myMessage.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress[i]);
myMessage.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());
myMessage.setSubject(subject);
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
// add html as the first part of the email.
// add html.
boolean sendHTML = UserHelper.HTMLEmails(to[0]);
if(sendHTML) {
System.err.println("Email.sendMessage() : Rendering text/html email to " + recievers);
MimeBodyPart htmlpart = new MimeBodyPart();
htmlpart.setContent(StringWizard.stripJavascript(StringWizard.toHTML(msg.toString())), "text/html");
mp.addBodyPart(htmlpart);
// add default stuff (text).
// add text.
System.err.println("Email.sendMessage() : Rendering text email to " + recievers);
MimeBodyPart textpart = new MimeBodyPart();
textpart.setText(msg.toString());
mp.addBodyPart(textpart);
// if we are sending any files with this email add them.
boolean attached = false;

Email Link problem

I'm using Dreamweaver 8, when I insert an email link it is
already populated with an email address which is becoming really
annoying!
Does anyone know how to clear this?

Yeah it does that to me too - but I never use the "insert
-> email link" method. Just type out what you want displayed,
highlight the text, and in the "link" field enter
"mailto:[email protected]" (minus the quotes of course).
Perhaps someone else knows how to "clear" the text in
question, but I have the feeling it's a feature ;-)

Html email hotspots problem

Hello,
I created a simple HTML page with graphics and links that I
sending as and email. I've posted my page and I use the "Send page
as email" to send it as a newsletter. It send fine and I see
everything and click on all the link that I need to.
I've sent myself a test email to make sure the graphics come
up, which they do, I hit Reply and the hotspots show up?
Do I need to create the links diffrently or what other method
do I need to do to get rid of these rectangles?
Thanks,

Thank you so much! It's the first time that I received an answer and it was quick,
easy and perfect! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Email link problems

Hi. New to CC and just learning. Following tutorial on sharing and collaborating, but as I practice sending a link to my partner or myself, I open it in my email, click on the link and then always get the same message - "sorry, this link is no longer active" Help?

Hi,
Did you ever get an answer to this? I have now the same problem...

Contribute 3 email link problem

The link to my email address is not working on my website it
says "default mail client not properly installed".

This probably had nothing to do with Contribute, but more
with your computer config. What email-client do you use and that is
the default client? Are the account-settings OK?
Check if the mailto:[email protected] is OK yourself by
looking at the source code of the page or the link properties in
Contribute.

How can I send HTML emails that display in Mail?

Hi,
I have an email newsletter that I recently have begun experimenting with in HTML. The problem is, when I try to use HTML, the message displays properly in things like Yahoo! webmail, but in Mail for OSX, it displays like a regular text message, images and formatting are not used. I'm sending the messages from PHPList. Is there something I need to add to my code to get it to display correctly?
Thanks much.
-Jonas

Well, I did check the layout in Safari, and it looked fine. Since I'm not sending the messages from Mail (since it's for a rather large mailing list handled by PHPList), selecting "Mail the Contents of this Page" wouldn't really do very much for me.
If I do try to send the page using that technique, it does work. But I have to use PHPList to compose and mail the message. I just need to know if there's any other code I need to add to make it display in Mail. I can receive other HTML emails no problem, but mine just shows up as text, disregarding images and other elements. I just don't know what's going on here.

HTML Email Problem

Hello,
I am creating an HTML email. I sent the email to someone who
opened it with Entourage on a mac - it looked great. Then I sent it
to some people who use Microsoft Outlook - it had some issues - the
main div tag was extending all the way to the right of the window,
but I had set the div to a fixed width of 600px. Also the image
maps that I had created for external links were now not over the
locations I had put them on (they had shifted out of place)
As I said, no problems in Entourage - it displayed and
functioned exactly how I intended. But in Microsoft Outlook, I had
the above issues.
Any help would be much appreciated. I can send you the email
so that you can see what I am talking about.
If this is not the right place to post concerning HTML
emails, I would appreciate some guidance as to where I should go.
Thanks
Kit

Yep. As does JangoMail.

Problem with HTML email formatting

I'm using Firefox 4.0.1. I have a job function that requires me to use web page based email. When responding to emails, Firefox automatically places the cursor at the bottom of the chain as opposed to the top of the chain as in previous versions. I need for the response to start at the top of the page. This is the way it worked in my previous version of Firefox and no settings in the email program have been changed. In fact there is no setting in that program to specify where the response will go. I'm assuming the cursor placement is being determined by Firefox. Please help me change it.

Oooops forgot the link

Html email newsletter font tags link help

i'm trying to write an html email newsletter. i've discovered
the only way
it will work is if i use tables and font tags. the only
problem i'm having
right now is that i can't change my link colors. i've tried
css and the body
tags, neither work. the body tag i tried is:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" LINK="#CCCCCC"
ALINK="#CCCCCC"
vlink="#CCCCCC">
yet the links still appear the default blue and visisted
links are purple.
does anyone know how to change the link colors using font
tags?

Show me your page, please.

Problems with Anchors in HTML email

We're having problems getting Mail.app to properly respond to Anchors in HTML email.
At the beginning of a newsletter-type email, we have a short TOC, with links to anchors further down the page.
Clicking on the anchors does not do anything, only double-clicks make Mail.app respond, but then it jumps to the wrong location. Instead of jumping and putting the anchor at the top of the visible window, it puts it just below the visible window - effectively jumping to the end of the previous article, instead of the beginning of the current one.
We have been able to reproduce the problem on a number of machines, all running Mac OS 10.6 and Mail.app 4.
The problem does not occur in Mail.app 3.5 under OS 10.5, or in any other mail program.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks

Turns out it's a bug in the Snow Leopard version of mail.app.
Let's see how long it will take Apple to fix this

Email link - link problem on events and blog pages

I added a email link on a master page - link works properly on all except blog pages and events pages -
on these pages it links to http://www.h2oonstone.com/mailto:[email protected] which brings up a bad request
the link on my celebration page works Celebration | Water on Stone Productions | Art, Music, Magic
but on the individual events pages they don't - example National Wildlife Day -
also doesn't work on blog main Water on Stone Watershed
or on the individual pages Smoothie Love | Watershed | Water on Stone Productions

Hi Sanjit -
The workaround works - but - I had to fix it on the events and e-commerce templates too - and the error template as well.
The problem is is that every time I make a change and upload the muse file I will have to modify these html pages and that is unsustainable… way too much work as I will be modifying the pages frequently till I have site completed.
Also strange - on the Blog pages that when I reimplemented the email link (on the master page) that the normal state does not remain white but defaults to a black - which I suspect has to do with the link default states. I haven't been able to fix this today.
All the other buttons - with links off-site maintain the states and links work.
Thanks, Ann

Problem with email links

Hi all -
I am using RoboHelp v7. I inherited my KB's already set up, but have been maintaining them for a couple of years now. However, we moved from Outlook to Google mail, and users are no longer able to send email from Robo. Note that I am able to send email from any other webpage using my corporate gmail account, having set up my mailto to utilize gmail.
I have email addresses in my KB's in two formats, and tried a third based on a post I read.
A regular mail to - where I've simply created a link to an email address, such as - "please contact the ECCN Reviewers via email to Eccn   PCM-PCMECCN."
with the link set as - mailto:[email protected]
A script that was created by the original owner, which contains one line - this always worked previously
document.write("<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + "Change request for '"+ document.title + "' page of the MotoPDM Help System\">MotoPDM Help Admin</a>");
I read Peter's Snippet #38 - Email this topic - and created a new snippet based on what he had - this didn't work either
<p><script type="text/javascript">
var mailSubject = 'Useful Information';
var mailBody    = 'This page might help: ' + location.href;
var mailDisplay = 'Click here for a demo.';
document.write(
    '<a href="mailto:[email protected]'
    + '?subject=' + escape(mailSubject)
    + '&body=' + escape(mailBody)
    + '">' + mailDisplay + '</a>'
    );</script></p>
In all three examples above, when I click on an email link, the main page of the KB goes blank, and nothing happens.
If I click on a normal webpage link (such as http://www.swingandblues.com/about.html, Greg Avakian - "[email protected]", I generate an email without issue.
I'd appreciate any assistance, I have no idea where to go next.
Thank you,
Anahid Avakian

Hi William -
Sorry for delay - we are working on a release and that took precedence over everything else for a few days... first - thank you for all your assistance. I do have an issue, but I'm sure it's me doing something wrong. I'm getting a run time error...
This is my original script:
document.write("<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + document.title + " section of the PDM1 KB\">[email protected]</a>");
So I replace it with your Java Script, and yes - I still have the red box in the WYSIWYG page
+d++ocument.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Mailto(\''+document.title+'\')" >youremail</a>');+
The HTML looks like this:
Problem with this page? Click here: <script>+d++ocument.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Mailto(\''+document.title+'\')" >@[email protected]</a>');+</script>
to provide feedback</p>
When I preview it, I get this error:
A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?
Line 33 Error: Expected ';'
If I publish, I just get a plus sign for the email -
Then, if I add the additional info in the HTML page just before script, I get this error when previewing (after saving) - Line 35 Error: Syntax Error and Line 40 Error: Syntax Error:
Problem with this page? Click here:
+<script type="text/javascript">+
+function Mailto(subject) {+
+     var HTML = 'mailto:mailto:[email protected]?subject='+subject+'+ section of the PDM1 KB';
+window.open(HTML,'Email');+
+}
+
+</script>+
<script>+d++ocument.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Mailto(\''+document.title+'\')" >@[email protected]</a>');+</script>
to provide feedback</p>
My WYSIWYG page does have two red boxes, but they both have plus signs in front of them (which is different than it was with my original script). And if I publish, I just get two plusses:
Any suggestion?
Thank you,
Anahid
