テキストメールコピー機能について

テキストメールコピー機能について

HTMLメールを作ってから、テキストメールをコピーする際(HTMLからのコピーの機能)ですが、

<[[http://www.xxxx.com/XXXX/]]>

のようなフォーマットでURLが挿入されますが、

>の部分がスマホの機種(今回だとギャラクシー)によってはURLの一部だと認識されるようです。

http://www.xxxxxx.com/XXXX/> がURLと認識されるようです。

そのため一部の機種でテキストのリンクがうまく機能しないようです。

テキストからのコピーに関しては<>をつけない、

または< [[http://www.xxxx.com/XXXX/]] >のように<>の間に

半角スペースを追加する仕様がいいと思います。

I agree. Wrapping in <> is obsolete notation. I don't know of any modern email client that does not recognize the plain URL (as long as it does not have trailing characters like a ".").

How would a text-only user differentiate between a fully formed URL in text and a linked piece of text?

My text-only client automatically assumes URL-like patterns are clickable links. Google does the same. It may not be fully universal but enclosing in <> isn't standard, either.

I more meant, how does a text end user understand how the following was presented in the HTML version:

HTML-Version

Navigate to http://www.marketo.com to learn more about marketing automation!

vs.

TEXT-Version

Navigate to http://www.marketo.com http://www.marketo.com/?myQueryStringParameter=Value&otherQueryStringParameter=Value to learn more about marketing automation!

That wouldn't work -- but I thought the question was whether the <> should be involved.

Currently, the < > is only added if you've linked text in the HTML side. If you've typed a URL like http://www.marketo.com and have NOT made it an anchor tag, then the TEXT side will also just show http://www.marketo.com and it will be up the email clients what they choose to do with it on both HTML and TEXT sides.

But since any URL-like pattern is going to be clickable, I think only the URL (not the text) should be shown.

Of course most people should hand-tune the text version anyway....
