Hi Guys,

I'm running into an issue. Part of our signature template is to have the URLs (both the mailto for the e-mail address and the website) be red.

Here is what it looks like in eMailSignature/when composing an e-mail:


When you receive the message in Outlook, the e-mail has changed to blue:


When you receive the message externally, both URLs have changed:


Does anyone have any tips or tricks for making sure the links stay all red? Here is our current code:

Code:
<FONT color=#000000><STRONG><FONT face=Verdana color=#575757 size=2>((First_name)) ((Last_name))<BR></FONT></STRONG><FONT face=Verdana color=#808080 size=1>((Title))<BR><BR>Canadian Red Cross<BR>((Office))<BR>((Address)) | ((City)) | ((State/Province)) | ((Country/Region)) | ((ZIP/Postal_Code))<BR></FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=1><U>((E-mail))<BR></U></FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#808080 size=1>T ((Telephone_number)) | F ((Fax_number))<BR></FONT><A href="http://www.redcross.ca/"><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=1>www.redcross.ca</FONT></A><BR><IMG height=80 alt="" src="http://www.redcross.ca/crc2010/sig/logo_en.gif" width=120 align=left border=0><BR><BR><BR><BR></FONT>

Try this ... added colour formatting between HREF-tag for ((E-mail)):

Code:
<FONT color=#000000><STRONG><FONT face=Verdana color=#575757 size=2>((First_name)) ((Last_name))<BR></FONT></STRONG><FONT face=Verdana color=#808080 size=1>((Title))<BR><BR>Canadian Red Cross<BR>((Office))<BR>((Address)) | ((City)) | ((State/Province)) | ((Country/Region)) | ((ZIP/Postal_Code))<BR></FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=1><U><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=1>((E-mail))</font><BR></U></FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#808080 size=1>T ((Telephone_number)) | F ((Fax_number))<BR></FONT><A href="http://www.redcross.ca/"><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=1>www.redcross.ca</FONT></A><BR><IMG height=80 alt="" src="http://www.redcross.ca/crc2010/sig/logo_en.gif" width=120 align=left border=0><BR><BR><BR><BR></FONT>


Enjoy!

Thanks, no such luck. Still exactly the same. I am not too concerned about the redcross url having a black underline when viewed in a web based e-mail solution, as it is staying red. As long as we can somehow get the e-mail address to follow suit.

I think the problem is that as we create the signature, it's not set-up as an HREF. <a href="mailto:e-mailaddress">e-mail address</a>. Outlook and web based mail clients are recognizing it as an e-mail address and changing it to a link.

Is there any way in eMailSignature to set it up this way?

Code:
<a href="mailto:((E-mail))"><FONT face=Verdana color=#ff0000 size=1>((E-mail))</font></a>


Or something similar?

Looks like I just answered my own question! That worked perfectly.

Good one, Shaun Smile

You must have the FONT tag inside the A tag. Otherwise you can yse an inline style for the A tag but if it works for you, it is cool enough.
