problem with internal links/anchors in newsletter

    Hi,

    I am making a Newsletter for a client using the Newsletter plugin.
    I made a custom template which seemed to go alright.

    There is just one problem. I make internal links with anchors – going from the top to specific articles in the newsletter (not on the site, but in the email it self)

    This works fine in email-progamms and Gmail, but with my webmail something strange happens.

    this code
    <a href="#artikel4">Lees verder ></a>

    somehow gets changed into this:

    <a href="../images/blank.png" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">Lees verder ></a>

    Is this something the plugin can prevent? Or something I can prevent by adding something extra in the template?

    It is the rewrite for tracking failing. anyway in email all the link must be absolute, with the full domain. That should solve the problem.

    You can use the $theme_url variable.

    I cannot make an absolute link to an anchor in the same email, as far as I know…

    Anyway: I have been looking into this and anchors in emails appear to be not a good idea anyhow, since not every email client works the same in this…

    I discussed it with my client and we decided on removing the table of contents altogether to get rid of this problem.

    Thanks for your reply.
