We recently got a complain from our subscriber that there were no urls to click on in our newsletters.
After some follow up emails we found that the subscriber was using outlook desktop on a windows 10 os and it was removing the urls from our newsletters and showing on plain texts.
Is there any specific format for urls we need to use?
Here is there html code :
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #F0F2F5;
color: #333333;
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
-ms-text-size-adjust: none;
line-height: 18px;
}
h1,
h2,
h3 {
color: #212121;
margin-bottom: 15px !important;
margin-top: 0;
}
h3 {
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}
h1 {
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}
a,
a:link,
a:visited {
color: #2BAAEA;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 18px;
}
p {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
img {
border: 0;
margin: 0;
}
table td {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
hr {
display: block;
height: 1px;
border: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #dddddd;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {
#templateColumns {
width: 100% !important;
}
h1 {
font-size: 20px;
}
h2 {
font-size: 14px;
}
.leftColumnContent {
font-size: 16px !important;
line-height: 125% !important;
}
.rightColumnContent {
font-size: 16px !important;
line-height: 125% !important;
}
}

I had mistakenly placed
line-height: 0;
in the style for the main body table.
