Hi, my problem is that incoming mail from online client software is not showing hyperlinks as clickable. I have edited the templates in my online software to include my web address and a payl link, when the automated email comes through, neither is displayed as a clickable link. If i access the message on my phone, both links are clickable

Any ideas?

Can you post the link part of the source (Ctrl+U) of the template here? Note also that some mail apps, especially on mobile devices, don't format links as clickable unless they are embedded in text, e.g. http://www.example.org is not clickable whereas this is.

This sometimes happens if the link in the html anchor is entered as www.example.org instead of http://www.example.org Are links from other senders clickable in TB?

The only links I see in the source rely on the recipient being able to activate Javascripts, which TB disables by default, as a security measure. This wouldn't be an issue if the mail were opened in webmail, or, as you've found, in a mobile mail app.

Hi

I managed to get around by using a well-hidden "insert link" command in the originating email template, many thanks for you efforts
