Alternative text version for Web Page format

[bapval]

Hi !

I can't have a text alternative for a web page based email.

I put my URL, type return twice and type my text but get no alternative text... Any clue ? No problem with HTML|Text format.

Version 7.6-FR Pro.

Alternative text is shown when a mail reader has no HTML capability. It is explained here.

I know how it works and when the text version is displayed but there is only the html in the preview/text alternative tab.

Ligne 1 - Alternative texte à l'email FZ8...
Ligne 2 - See something ?
Ligne 3 - Toujours rien !

The text alternative shows a blank page in the preview tab but I get a multipart email...

Content-type: multipart/alternative;

You can't preview the text alternative. That's why I thought it wasn't working...

And what happens when you send a message? Does it include the alternative part? Is this just a Preview issue?

 

[bapval]

The sent mail is OK... It's just a preview issue.

Ok, I will have a look.

I found two other issues with the text alternative for web page :

• - Unsubscribe link is shown as a tagged link <a href="...">...</a> as it should be a simple text URL.

• - The small maximum text length mark you can see on a text/html page is missing.

Unsubscribe link is shown as a tagged link <a href="...">...</a> as it should be a simple text URL.

I guess it is just on the preview, right?

The small maximum text length mark you can see on a text/html page is missing.

I don't understand what you mean.

No not in preview... But in the text part of the sent email.

If you put the [unsubscribe] or [Résilier abonnement] tag after the web page URL it is rendered as

<a href="http://www2.yamaha-motor.fr/lm/lm.php?un=Qydlc3QJVGVybWluw6kJCWJhcHRpc3RlQG1hYy5jb20JTGFuY2VtZW50IG5hdGlvbmFsIGRlIGxhIFN1cGVyIFTDqW7DqXLDqSAtIFZlbmRyZWRpIDExIGp1aW4gMjAxMCA8SUYgW1tNb2RlIHRlc3RdXT0iT3VpIj4qKiBURVNUICoqPC9JRj4JMzA1CVhUMTIwMFoJNzA4Mi00CTc4ODgwCXVuc3Vic2NyaWJlCW5vCW5v&local=yes">Se désinscrire</a>

in the email text part... We shoud only have the URL and no html tag.
