How to change {{lead.email address}} token colour change in email

Hi all,

We use the sentence :

"this email was sent to {{lead.email address}}. If you wish to unsubscribe....." When the email is received this token info displays in blue, whereas our other links are an orange-ish colour. How can I change how this token renders? I am looking a the HTML and it isn't an <a href= > so I can't style the link.

 

We use #ea6c11 as a link colour..

 

Thanks,

 

Lucas

Hi Sanford,

 

I ran a test, and the live sample email came back with an empty space where the <a> was written in. Do you have an 'in case that doesn't work try this' step up your sleeve?


There's nothing special going on here, it's like any mailto: link. Pls show the exact code you're using for the link. It should be along these lines:

 

<a class="mktNoTrack" href="mailto:{{Lead.Email Address}}">{{Lead.Email Address}}</a>

 

With of course your standard inline link styles also applied.

What you're probably seeing is the mail client synthesizing a clickable link where there isn't one, because a string looks like an address. This is very pernicious behavior that's a little tricky to turn off, because it's not coming from an actual <a>. But at the same time, you're saying you do want it to be a different color? Or do you not want it to be a link?
