I tried to use with webpage format with a click counter script but it doesn't work. The script does, and the web link alone do, but both together don't

e.g.
http://www.coateconnection.com/click.php?link=http://www.coateconnection.com/CypressLanding3B.jpg

all in the first line of message

is is possible to combine the two?

It works fine for me. What is the problem?

Using version 4.4.3

MaxBulk is retrieving the content to prepare to send because it hits the counter twice, however the received message has only the mail headers and no content

You can't use such URL to send as Web Page. Our script is not intended to be used that way. What are you trying to do?

Just trying to track stats on who and how many emails are read out of the campaign.

I wanted to compose my html email using Freeway Pro, then uploading to server, then sending just the webpage format instead of composing in Maxbulk. My emails contains lots of photos and property descriptions for real estate and I could make a template in Freeway.

click counter is using "img src" to auto load a picture file and i want to autoload an more complex HTML doc into mail browser without user having to click on a link.

Plus I prefer the click counter tracking to web server stats

All that is correct but you should copy and paste the HTML code to MaxBulk and send as HTML only rather than using the Web Page. You will avoid bad surprises.
