Hi,

Thanks to this group I discovered the excellent PHP Mailer
(http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/) which I use to send emails.

Part of my application emails out hundreds of club members unique URL links
which allow them to register for various things.
Sometimes these URLS are long because they contain custom codes.

Problem I am having is that some members are saying the links do not work
and investigating this it is because they are clicking on links that are
being truncated by their email program.

I therefore assume they are viewing email in plain text.

What can I do to get around this?

I send out my emails as plain text anyway, and for me personally and the
majority of members no problems are reported.
I did not want to use HTML mail quite yet as I would first have to make my
application add the HTML tags and also some people will not have HTML
viewers.

Hope this is clear and any help appreciated.

Kind regards

Dave
