Coding an HTML email, Gmail automatically converts links?

rawkinrich · 05-08-2009, 04:04 AM

Hi all,

I am coding an HTML email, and testing it in email clients. All are fine, apart from Gmail. If I have this code:

Code:

<a href="[example-tracking-code]"><font style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 12pt;">MyDomain.com</font></a>

or even:

Code:

<a href="[example-tracking-code]" style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 12pt;">MyDomain.com</a>

Gmail sees that MyDomain.com is the anchor and automatically strips the tracking code out and puts the link as blue (the default colour?). Other email clients are fine.

Any advice on this guys?

Thanks all

I've seen some html emails that companies send out manage to bypass it. However I've looked at their code and can't figure out what they are doing differently.
