Links added in shortcode filter don't work properly

  • I authored a plugin that uses the wysija_shortcodes filter to add custom content to a newsletter. The inserted custom content may contain links.

    We are finding that when the newsletter is viewed in a browser window, it looks fine and the links work properly. But when viewed in an email message, the links in the custom content are broken and result in a 404 error.

    Also, the font size in the custom content is tiny – 1-2pt when viewed using Outlook 2013.

    I would appreciate any recommendations on how to correct these problems.

    I tried again today and the links are working properly now. My guess is that something messed up in the sending of the preview and the emails arrived out of order, making the links broken.

    As for the tiny font, I have tracked it to the following block of code in tools/templates/newsletter/email/css.html:

    <!--[if gte mso 15]>
<style type="text/css">
    /* Outlook 2013 */
    table { font-size:1px; mso-line-height-alt:0; line-height:0; mso-margin-top-alt:0; }
    tr { font-size:1px; mso-line-height-alt:0; mso-margin-top-alt:1px; }
</style>
<![endif]-->

    This is setting the size of the text to 1px. Why would this be needed?
