Hi everybody,

may sombody has a solution for this problem? When I send links like that:

http://www.example.org/user/welcome?user[id]=22&key=2a965027574e6bd0418f5b9b72c875a49d464fc5

This Link is not clickable, the link breaks like this

http://www.ella.org/user/welcome?user[id] =22&key=2a965027574e6bd0418f5b9b72c875a49d464fc5

Does anybody know, how I could ensure, that the link remains clickable?

Thank you for every hint!

Use alternative parts in your email with an HTML and a pure-text versions of your e-mail. People using mail clients that don't show HTML usually know how to rebuild the link from the pieces and won't blame the problem on you. The HTML version should protect the links.

and source code of both Tmail and ActionMailer when playing with mime like that...

Try typing the url inside a pair of angle brackets, i.e.: <http://www.example.org/user/welcome?user[id]=22&key=2a965027574e6bd0418f5b9b72c875a49d464fc5&gt;

Thank you very much for your help

here a little tip back, which I found in Rails Recipes. I go for the multipart/alternative solution.

Sending an email as HTML AND Plaintext makes sense and is for me, the way to go. What helped me, to find a quick solution on changing the Action Mailer behaviour in Login Sugar, act_as_authenticated was this very helpful book "Rails Recipes" look for the Recipe `Send Gracefully Degrading Rich- Content Emails`.

Hope this help some people more out there.
