Hi,
I have been receiving a html newsletter for a couple of years now with no problems however around the time I upgraded to the latest Pegasus Mail, 4.61, I started having problems with many of the links not displaying in the newsletter. I don't have any old newsletters so I am not sure about the date things started not working but the problem seems to be either Pegasus or the html generator that is being used or probably a combination of both.
The problem appears to be that whenever the '<a href.....>' is split onto a second line after the '<a' that Pegagus doesn't recognise it as a link. This occurs in the preview and when I Open the message and when I Open in a Browser the links are stripped out entirely.
I compared the headers and a lot of the message with other emails that work fine and it seems the email is being sent or reformatted to be quite narrow while a newsletter I send out formats with quite long lines. I did change the Options-> Message Reader settng from 72 to 150 but I don't think that has had any affect on the HTML mail.
My thinking is that regardless of the format there is possible a bug in Pegasus not correctly reading the '<a href...>' because other links in the same newsletter split across multiple lines but because they have something after the '<a' then they work as expected.It is worth pointing out that the text to be displayed as part of the '<a href>..text..</a>' does appear as selected and in the below samples from the Raw View where you can see the code is there but it just doesn't seem to be getting processed correctly
In these examples the link is display as there is something on the line after the '<a'
<td style="border-bottom: #91b03e 1px solid;..removed........."><span style="color: #91b03e;
margin: 0;">...... some text removed .....
</span><a style="color: #3e8a9a; text-decoration: none;"

Smith,
In this example the link doesn't show as the '<a' is the last thing before the line is split

style="color: #3e8a9a; text-decoration: none;">
In this example from the footer the first link doesn't show but all the rest do, however you will notice the Style comes after the '<a' rather than the href.

I hope all that is not to confusing and someone can suggest a solution or a fix to the issue.
