Will it work after update to macOS?

Hi!

I wonder whether MBM will work after upgrade from El Capitan to macOS Sierra?

Hi—

I updated and now have a weird little glitch.

We send out customer survey e-mails, very, very simple ones. We use the Opt1 tag to point the link to a specific url for each customer. (see screenshots)

Today I see that in the Preview, the url shows at the top for some reason, and it may be that it's Friday and my brain is gone, but I can't seem to see any reason this would happen. Nothing changed, except the 8.5.5 upgrade.

Is the tag incorrect? I always pick up the last survey file, and just do a Save As to a new MBM file with the current date. So nothing has changed from last week to this.

Ideas?

Many thanks.
