For some time I've had to play with the input to Dada HTML mailings due to Tracker breaking random links

There is nothing unusual about the formatting of the broken links, so I can't figure out why they break Sometimes removing the quotes from the href URL helps, sometimes not Sometimes changing from double quotes to single quotes helps, sometimes not

That's sort of strange, since the redirect links in the new-style tag doesn't work, unless you specifically use double quotes, like this:

http://example
com

This shouldn't work:

<?dada redirect url=http://example
com ?>

etc,

The old-style way:

[redirect=http://example
com]

(I think?) didn't support using quotes at all

This: http://www thehomeschoolmom com becomes this: http://www th%0Aehomeschoolmom com

Hmm, "%0A" is the encoding for a Line Feed - which makes one suspect that the link was placed on multiple lines, somewhere along the line I tried to do this manually - just in Dada Mail's Send a Message screen - doing something like this in the source of the message:

">Click Here!

But that's not supported either - the entire tag has to be on one line So I'm not sure when that line feed is introduced Is the original URL in the database? Look in the, "dada_clickthrough_urls" table It has a column named, "url" that holds the click through URLS
