The newer mail scanners scan all links, and expect that only to grow in share (as long as link prescanning is done it all). Older ones (still in use in-the-wild) scanned only the first, somewhat bizarrely.Remember, the mail scanners are designed so they can't be evaded by malicious actors. So if you...
It won't apply to filters/bots that "click" other links, but they seem to be the exception at this point.Mail scanners that click all links are definitely not the exception... don't know where you'd get that idea. A scanner is useless if it doesn't click all links.

You should hardcode "http://" or "https://" but the hostname isn't necessarily "www," so you should keep that part of the token.The way that Marketo scans email content for trackable links requires this setup for standard text tokens.Note that in contrast, Velocity (email script) tokens -- used fo...
Sometimes you need a valid-looking email address as a placeholder, but you need to be sure that it truly doesn't exist — and that it's unique across your whole database. For example, a lead's Email Address can be blank or have a basic syntax error (username missing @domain, only a domain wi...
Some time back, the folks at Campaign Monitor contributed the go-to fancy button builder for cross-device emails, Bulletproof email buttons. If you haven't seen it, it looks like this:Their compatibility testing was an awesome donation to the MA community, but there's a problem with the generated co...
JD, if you search my Community posts on Velocity, you'll see several examples of this.
