Summary: #2035 - Problem replacing links in HTML-Mails
FelamiMail replaces all links in the mail-body with links using the /redirect.php, but it does not work on HTML-Mails.
Following content of the body:
View Document
Normally this will create a link with the Text “Vie Document” with a link to the specified URL.
But viewing such a mail using FelamiMail creating following HTML-Code:
Vie Document
The problem seems inside the class.uidisplay.inc.php:
On line 1015 there is a pre\_replace which modifies the link inside the mail because the regex matches the link.
On line 1019 there is also a pre\_replace which modifies the linke because the regex matches the link.
It could help testing in line 1015 for a not existing href=’|" in front of the link.
Greetings

Dear EGroupware user,
thanks for reporting bugs back to [egroupware.org](http://egroupware.org).
With the new release of EGroupware 1.8.001 we also fixed many bugs. So we kindly ask you to recheck your bug reports against the new version.
If you do not respond within the next 14 days, we assume the bug no longer exist and your report will be closed automatically.
Thanks for your understanding

Where is this at? Same goes for me that all links refer to my domain address in front of the actual address without a proper redirection.

by using html::activate\_link the problem seems to diminish
But: Still some open issues with that.

commited Sebastian Meyers suggestion to trunk for broader availability to tests: Revision 26830
With my setup it looks o.k. up until now, but as Istvan states, further tests are needed.

Hi,
I have similar problem with links inside \< \>, even displaying plain messages.
When this kind of link displayed, it is always include the \> character and those characters, which follow it.
The link will be similar:
https : / / [mydomain.hu](http://mydomain.hu) / egroupware / redirect.php ? go=https %3A%2F%2F [mydomain.hu](http://mydomain.hu) %2F directory %2F action %2F52%23comment%3A6%26gt%3B%0ADomain
So, it would be nice to trim the character: ‘\>’ and all things after that. It seems, until the first space it includes all characters.
I try to solve it rewriting the preg\_replace (thank you for the hint) but until now I failed ☹

Hmm… it seems the bug-tracker has the same problem, you can see it in my post.
Changing the pattern on line 1015 like this:
"/(?\|/|"|href=’|href=")((http(s?)://)|(www.))([\w,-,/,?,=,.,&,!\n,%,@,\*,#,:,~,+]+)/ie"
Now the links in HTML-Mails will work.
Hope this will fix bug-tracker, too.
