Using Links in Send a Message

[zaneclark]

I love to use the links feature in my weekly newsletter to link to things such as lessons, talks, etc. Most of the time it works great, but at times it is very quirky, requiring several attempts to create the link. Has anyone else had this problem? is there a correct procedure to make the links that I am not using?

Is your newsletter a PDF, newly typed text, cut and paste test or something else?

I do a draft in Notes on an Apple computer, then copy and paste to Send a Message where I edit, add attachments and create url links.

The church send a message system does not do well with copy and paste. It will frequently drop carriage returns and I have also experienced it messing up a url, even though it looks ok before it is sent and appears ok when received, it occasionally will not work. The workaround is an attached PDF or typing the message in the box from scratch according to the caution note they have posted where messages are sent. One could send a test message too and see if it works but that is not a 100% guarantee the next one sent will be all right even if the same text and embedded url.
