Footer and Attatchment links do not work

Does this only happen in html emails? Does this happen when other modules send html emails? Does this happen in plain text newsletters?
Please investigate further. It is possible that this is a mime mail issue. Please use latest dev versions of both simplenews and mime mail.

I'm getting the same problem sending html emails with the latest dev versions of simplenews & mimemail. The footer appears as href="/newsletter/confirm/remove/">Unsubscribe from this newsletter and images are displayed as attachments. Any idea what might be causing this?

I wonder why more people aren't experiencing this? What seems to be happening, is that drupal_mail (in mail.inc) performs drupal_wrap_mail on the message body. Mimemail then performs a check_markup in its drupal_mail_wrapper() function ... and line break converter filter has fun in inserting numerous breaks all over the place which destroy the html message.

Can anyone else duplicate this?

I've seen this problem before but can't find it in the issue queue. Pls try the latest dev version of both modules and perhaps you have more luck searching the queue.

I'm using the latest dev versions of simplenews and mimemail.

I fixed the unsubscription link by theming theme_simplenews_newsletter_footer. I copied over the function from the module and in the format == 'html' condition I modified the line like so:

global $base_url;
$output = '<p class="newsletter-footer">'. l(t('Unsubscribe from this newsletter', array(), $language->language), $base_url.'/newsletter/confirm/remove/'. $hash, array('html' => TRUE, 'language' => $language)) .'</p>';

Where the change is adding in the $base_url in the link function.

HnLn, thanks for diving in. Although your solution is not optimal, you are definitely on the right track! The attached patch solves this by adding an 'absolute' = TRUE to the l() function.

The attached patch has been committed to 6.x-1.x-dev.

b.t.w. this only solves the footer link problem.

I had the exact same problem. Installing the dev version fixed it.

I still just get plain text like "Unsubscribe from this newsletter" on Hotmail though.... hmmmm

@patrickharris: I found the issue I thought handles the double filtering. #305650: Restore Mime Mail support in D6 But that was fixed. Related discussion at #306670: Simplenews ignores paragraphes on some installations

I've made a few improvements on the plain text alternative that simplenews passes on to mimemail. The attached patch is committed to 6.x-1.x-dev. I guess this is all I can do at simplenews side now.

Re #4: this is now reported frequently in this issue list.

Further testing reveiled that the $text parameter of mimemail() is not only the plain text alternative for HTML emails, but also is the body of the plain text emails. The attached patch corrects this in simplenews.
Patch is committed.

I still don't see how the issue with attachments is supposed to be fixed.

I tried including attachments as

<img src="somepic.jpg" >
<img src="somepic.jpg" />
<img src="internal:sites/default/files/somepic.jpg" >
<img src="internal:sites/default/files/somepic.jpg" />

but none of these results in

<img src="somepic.jpg">

The first two create broken images like

<img src="Array" >

I don't see how the above patches (all from 2008) are supposed to fix this issue, so I set it back to active.
