Email Template Tag Styling

[gord]

Hey all,

I have an email template (html) which pulls through a URL using a tag %URL%. The url is unique to the email going out and is all handled by the system. But, because the tag is entirely replaced by the URL I can't style the damn thing.

I've wrapped the %URL% in font tags and spans to no avail. It ends up being that bright blue default link.

It's not the end of the world but if anyone can think of a way around it, that would be great.

Cheers.

I haven't actually tried using anything but in-line styles. That said, any styles that aren't in-line are usually stripped out by the mail clients, but worth a shot.

<a href="%URL%" style="xxxxxxxxx">%URL%</a>

That would end up with:

<a href="<a href="link">link</a>" style="xxxxxxxxx"><a href="link">link</a></a>

I'm yet to try an internal style declaration. Turns out the system I am testing won't be fit for purpose anyway (perfect in every way apart from you cant change who the email is from), so I've got to try out another app. Third time lucky.
