Google analytics allows a nice and simple way to tag URLs

Please consider supporting this feature.
As a configuration, one can provide following fields while configuring a newsletter
utm_source, utm_medium, utm_term,utm_content,utm_campaign and you can tag each URL with this additional info just the way URL builder tool does. And then you have a power statistics available to check various campaigns and newletter and their stats.

So instead of a link node/1234 it will be node/1234?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email ....

Sounds like something you could do with the hooks SunMailer provides for altering the XML content. If this were implemented, it would likely go in a separate module packaged with SunMailer. I would try to integrate with the existing Google Analytics module where possible.

The current Google analytics modules does not support this as this is not account specific just to provide some unique tags.

Version: 6.x-1.5 » 6.x-2.x-dev

I'd like to do this in the 6.x-2.x version, as I can immediately see the value-add for this feature. There's a chance it might have to come by version 6.x-2.1 as opposed to the initial 6.x-2.0 release, though.

Definitely not going to be able to fit this in the 6.x-2.0 release, marking as postponed for now
