Hi All,
I'm not really sure where to begin with this, but here goes. I have a client that has a newsletter that he sends out monthly. He uses an online service to disseminate it.
The issue he's having is that, for whatever reason, he can't view "named anchors" successfully using Outlook 2007 (I know, I know, he's a Windows user). In my attempts to debug the issue, I have gone through the following scenarios:
1) Opening the HTML doc in Safari and using CMD+I to send the page through Mail.app:
-- The problem here is that Mail.app wants to then insert a local-to-the-machine explicit <base href> tag that supersedes my existing <base href> tag and thereby tries to link all the named anchors to a file that obviously won't exist once sent.
2) On Windows, open the document from IE and "Send Page As Email".
-- Although IE itself can't view the named anchors apparently due to the <base href="">, it does *send* it properly
Obviously both scenarios present their own set of questions, but for the sake of time, I'll present a couple of to-the-point ones:
1) How do I prevent Mail.app from editing the HTML in any way?
2) What is the absolute best mechanism for sending HTML emails with "named anchors"?
Bonus Question: Why is it not possible to directly edit HTML for sending in most email clients?
Best.
