Hi everyone, I hope someone can shed some light on my issue. I've been trying to send HTML newsletters via Simplenews, however, when I send the newsletter, whether test email or actual email, the email produces a text only email with no clickable links. The places where links were suppose to be are converted to a reference such as [1] with the link appended to the footer as [1] http://www.websitename.com
I am using Drupal 5.9 and recently installed Simplenews 5.x-1.5 along with Mime Mail 5.x-1.0. I have made sure Mime Mail is enabled and configured to "Use Mime Mail for all messages". Also, within my newsletter I made sure the format box is HTML. I've reinstalled both Simplenews and Mime Mail several times. I'm running my system on a Linux server if it's relevant.
I have also tried to use the module HTML Mail, which has a Test Mail function that supposedly sends emails in HTML, however, the result of the email is the same. Links are referenced with [1] with the actual link at the footer.
Thanks in advance to everyone.

Try setting the input_filters
go to admin/settings/mimemail
check the use mimemail for all messages
and set the input format to filtered-html
Limited Options Available
The only options in my admin/settings/mimemail are:
Email Address:
[]Use Mime Mail for all messages: (which I have checked)
[]Plaintext email only:
Advanced Settings:
[] Process incoming messages posted to this site
[] Message validation string
I've adjusted the format to Filtered HTML within my newsletter before posting but no change.
I did a simple test and made a newsletter with the following:
[bold] Hello[/bold]
with Full HTML chosen and the proper <> holding the bold tags
The newsletter going to my email yields the following:
------------------------------------------------------------
mywebsite.com Newsletter
------------------------------------------------------------
Hello (note: not in bold)
-- Footer will be appended here
Between use Mimie & Plain text
Email Address:
[]Use Mime Mail for all messages: (which I have checked)
>>>>>>>Input Formats<<<<<<<<
[]Plaintext email only:
Click on the input formats, to expand it.
then inside there select Filtered Input
No Filtered Input Option
I went into my newsletter and chose filtered HTML but same thing.
The only additional setting in Mime Mail is
-Advanced Settings
[ ]Process incoming messages posted to this site
Message Validation String
[ ]
I was actually curious to whether I have a bad version of Mime Mail since these options are missing.
Could this be because the
Could this be because the user you're logged in as has permission to use only one of the input filters? You can check that at /admin/settings/filters
Didn't solve the issue. The
Didn't solve the issue. The emails are still the same format. Is it possible it's a problem with Mimemail?
Did you set Simplenews format?
You did go to admin/settings/simplenews/newsletter and set Format to HTML, right?
Administer > Site Configuration > SimpleNews > Newsletter, then set Format = HTML
