SOLVED: Unsubscribe Link in plain text email
Posted: Sat May 30, 2009 6:25 pm
Hi all
Any help or advise on this would be great
Im currently designing a mailing script which sends mutipart emails and attachments.
My problem is kinda strange, I dont think the problem may even be a php issue, it could be the email clients.
Ok, each email sent has a dynamic unsubscribe link added..
for example: http://www.domain.com/index.php?action=remove&id={email address here}
when the link is clicked an unsubscribe form is displayed with the email in the text field ready to go.
The problem: When viewing the plain text version, the link gets changed causing the link to fail when clicked.
in the above example the link would get changed to action=move - so the re part goes missing
also in some cases the = equals sign get replaced with another symbol
The link is fine in the html version, its only the plain text version im having these probs.
I have viewed the txt email in outlook and a program called mailwasher and they both distort the unsubscribe url in some way.
I have tried using different actions (action=unsub / action=unsubscribe / action=optout) but the link gets messed up somewhere
Hope someone can help
cheers
