Dear Yahoo mail, I hate you.

Just recently i created a HTMl newsletter to broadcast to all my customers. I constantly emailed my self with test pages before i sent them in my gmail account. Everything was perfect on Gmail, but recently I recieved an email from a customer saying there are no links to my website in my Newsletter. So i quickly tested a copy over to a yahoo email.
Results: Everything showed up perfectly
Problem: All the images I Embeded with links are there, but they are no longer Embeded with links, therefore all my Yahoo sent Newsletters have not had a link back to my website (Which accounts for 80% of my customers) How can i fix this problem?

    You may want to consider an autoresponder service like AWeber.

    If I may ask, how many people are on your list?

    And as far as your attitude towards Yahoo mail, I'm with you.

      I currently use instantestores web solution so it has a built in auto responder, and well my website is only about 2 months old and i have about 40 newsletter subscribers, not much but when only 5 out of 40 people can get back to my website with a click of the button its pretty terrible.

    Send an html version and also send just a text version.

    Actually, they might get the html version so your text version wouldn't show.

    So, myself, to be sure, I would just send a text version. They're all sure to get it and less headaches.

    Not sure if you want to go that route, though.

      The Problem is in my Niche, Graphics is everything. Video Game sales, targeting younger people they want WOW they dont want text. I really need to get the HTML working, if I cant get it working then i will follow up on your idea.

    I've always just sent plain text email via my autoresponder for best deliverability. If you've been experiencing repeated issues with the links in your html email not being clickable in Yahoo, then I'd highly suggest just trashing your html email completely.

    AWeber is a favorite email autoresponder service that has been existing quite a while but I doubt if there are some advanced tools like this to compete with nowadays.

      I hate checking my Yahoo mail-box.

      Yahoo email is the closest thing to spam I'll endure.

    You really need to be using an autoresponder! I think that would help out a lot. I'm not sure how many mass emails you can send out before you start getting in trouble for doing that without an unsubscribe option!
