Using a URL in an OPT field Not Tracked

My company sends out HTML emails to our customers with custom URLs for each person. We export txt files from the database which has these customs urls and then import the txt files into MaxBulk. I have never tried to use click through tracking but since I upgraded to 7.9 I installed the MLM.

The problem is that the URLs I need to track are in the OPT1 fields and they are not tracked. I wrote a basic HTML email and tried the same URL once as a standalone URL and once using OPT1 merging it into the email.
The merged URL was not tracked.

Place this code in OPT1 and place it on an HTML only email.

<a href="http://www/google.com">google</a>

It will not get tracked.


Has anyone else been able to track merged URLs?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have an idea to make it work but I will have to recompile MaxBulk Mailer. It consists in adding the [Click] tag to your message. The OPT1 field should contain the URL only though like "http://www/google.com". Processing HTML code inside an opt field and inserting tracking code is far more complex (but not impossible).
