Fix code alterations that occur when sending email template samples
(Cheers to @Matthew Fellows for reminding me about this one!)
When using the "Send Sample" functionality directly from an email template to test code, several switches happen which actually break the email:
- There's a doctype switch which occurs on the email itself: the email will go from <!doctype html> to <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
- Any meta tags or variables defined in the template are removed.
- Any parent container tags for mktoModules are removed. That is to say, if you have an email module defined as <table class="mktoModule" [...]><tr><td></td></tr></table> it will only render everything from the table row onwards.
This results in the email usually going lopsided and looking bad. While the recommended solution here is usually to create a test email, this is very confusing for email template developers who don't have a ton of Marketo experience. Can this behavior be changed to simply send the code inside the template itself with the variable defaults/mktoAddByDefault values honored?
