When I send out an email using simplenews, all the links in the email are doubled. Sometimes, too, the first link is incorrect but the 2nd one is always correct.

Also when I preview the email I don't see this.

Here is an example of my problem, this is taken out my email:

Any suggestions?

Does this occur in plain text emails? If not, disable Mime Mail (or HTML mail) module and try again.

HiHi!

I'm experiencing the same effect.

http:// style links are simply displayed twice. I'm not using a lot of links so maybe that's why I don't see any 'incorrect' effects.

(I don't have MIME or HTML modules installed. The only 'mail' modues I have are 'simplenews' and 'simplenews action.')

(BTW I tried both and see the same effect whether selecting Input Format of Filtered HTML or Full HTML.)

In yahoo mail email addresses are displayed as:

name@example.com mailto:name@example.com

...where...
the first email address is an HREF link
'mailto:' is plain 'unlinked' text
and the email address after the mailto is an HREF link.

For both http:// and email addresses the second link wraps to new lines as appropriate if necessary.

Hmmmm interesting. I'm looking at these email links in yahoo mail and alpine.

Yahoo is weird and hard to define because it 'converts' the email address and displays in the status bar: http://yada.yada.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=name@example.com so that's not a true/valid test.

Alpine displays the first name@ as plain text, not highlighted, and the second mailto:name@ as a highlighted/selectable address.

So. If, as OP says, the -first- http:// is 'sometimes incorrect' but -never- the second...

...and alpine interprets the second mailto:name@... but not the first name@... as a 'valid/selectable' email address...

...then, simply -not- exporting that -first- instance of each text and using only the second would solve all problems at least as I see them from my POV.

Thanks much. Have a :) day!
