How can I mail a page in Confluence with showing all recipients to every recipient? - email

I got a confluence 3.5 installation (but I am fine too, if you tell me there is such an option in 4.2). There is a share button that let you email a page to a bunch of recipients. Sadly all recipients are entered as BCC (or the email task is executed one time for every recipient). Problem: I want to let the recipients know to whom the page has been shared too.
I cannot believe that I could not find anyhting about that topic (just that description: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF35/E-mailing+a+Page). So, if this is a silly question for you confluence cracks out there, I am sorry, but happy, if you leave me a hint.
Thank you!

Yep, this was added in Confluence 4.2 and it's really handy!
Now the email you get shows an 'Also shared with' section that has the name and avatar of everyone else.

Mailchimp Embedded Sign up form not displaying Captcha

I am using mailchimp embedded sign up form. It displays Email Account, First Name and Last Name, but captcha is not showing. I enabled captcha from Settings->List Name and Defaults.
What other steps do I need? Captcha is not showing in Preview Mode Option.
Please help, getting lot of fake emails. Double opt in is also enabled.
Had the same problem. Make sure its V2(checkbox) NOT V3. Documentation here: https://mailchimp.com/help/about-recaptcha-for-signup-forms/
The Sign-up forms have invisible not checkbox re-captcha.
Source: https://mailchimp.com/help/about-recaptcha-for-signup-forms/#Enable_reCAPTCHA
You can find the summary in the below image.
I came here looking for an answer. Followed the instructions to enable the reCaptcha. After reloading website could not see it. After finally trying to submit the form it took me to a mailchimp external page with the reCaptcha showing. Makes sense when you think about doing some kind of server side check for a reCaptcha with minimal installation fuss.
I've run into the same problem, and this is what I have found.
I set the url to https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js, not sure if that helped, but it's one less spot for failure
You might need to announce somewhere to allow for pop-up's to be allowed on the page when the captcha shows. It seems that when that option is enabled that it opens up a new windows for the confirmation.

HTML Email Not Generating Links (A tags) in Outlook

In checking an email that I am coding (a reply-type email that my server will send), I notice that the a tag hyperlinks in my code are not working in Outlook. They work elsewhere, but not Outlook.
I know very little about Microsoft products, but I can tell you that the place I'm seeing this is in the online outlook.com you view in a web browser.
The simplest link, such as this...
Click here
...is coming through like this in the rendered email:
[http:www.yahoo.com]Click here
AND, it is not a link. It's just text. It appears as though the program is disabling the links (possibly because it finds the email suspicious of phishing, even though I added the domain to my trusted emails)???
Anyone know what is happening or how I can work around this?
I don't see anything wrong with the code you've posted, but I do know that Outlook.com will do this to links when it doesn't recognize them as valid links to an external site. Look for hidden characters, "smart" quotes instead of plain quotes, etc. in the link.
You should put the target on the link.

URL encoding issue in email campaigns

BACKGROUND:
Sitefinity CMS for my specific problem, but could be general too.
I have an email message which has an unsubscribe link in it like this:
To Unsubscribe: Click or copy paste the following link in your browser.
https://www.domain.com/unsubscribe?mailingList={|MailingList.Title|}&SubscriptionEmail={|Subscriber.Email|}
{|MailingList.Title|} and {|Subscriber.Email|} are sitefinity CMS subscriber fields. When I send out an email these two fields resolve to their respective values. Hence, the URL I get in an email is as following for example.
https://www.domain.com/unsubscribe?mailingList=mymailingList&subscriptionEmail=abc#xyz.com
The user can click on it and unsubscribe from the mailing list.
My Problem:
If the mailing list name has a space in it, the link that appears on the email is broken at the first occurance of the space(link the link shown below breaks immediately =my) and hence clicking it is like clicking a invalid URL.
https://www.domain.com/unsubscribe?mailingList=my mailing List&subscriptionEmail=abc#xyz.com
I dont understand why the space in the URL doesnt resolve to a %20.
My Trial:
I changed the order of the querystrings to see if it works(mailinglist was the last string originally, I put it in the middle)
I am fine if the URL does not get resolved into a link at all, just forcing the users to copy paste the entire URL. But, I was not able to do it as well.
I have read in microsoft forums that OUTLOOK resolves the spacing issue, when the URL is surrounded by < and > like this :
URL here:
But the URL doesnt even show up in the email just like it is not showing up here above this line.
Tested on OUTLOOK, GMAIL, YAHOOMAIL, MICROSOFT MAIL. The link is broken in all email clients.
Any suggestions on what is the best solution for this?

Moodle: Add variable in 'a href' links in mail template

I have one short question for a hrev link in moodle mail template. When you are subscript to some forum, moodle start to send you a emails from every replay with content where you also have a href links. How can I add same variable in a href link in moodle mail. Explanation, if I reply to some forum , I received email where I have link http://moodle.com/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=132 , now can I add new variable to link and when I will received mail to have link something like this: http://moodle.com/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=132&varialbe=germany&variable2=eu
Note:moodle send email when is activate cron.php script, not when submit replay in replay form.
I hope someone before me already have this issue or have some idea how to find solution, I will really appreciate if He/She want to share with me.
Best Regards,
J.J.
The code is in
/mod/forum/lib.php
Look for the functions
forum_make_mail_text()
and
forum_make_mail_html()
then look for
forum/discuss.php
in the code.
You can add extra parameters there, good luck! :)

Newsletter link tracking

I was working on a newsletter system, it's done now and it works fine. Today I was talking with a client about an upgrade for the system that does the following ->
"Automatic link tracking: View who
opened your email and what links they
clicked on."
Now, I have an idea on how to do this to add #id variable from the user query string on each link and then add a counter on each site to see who opened the link. BUT, is it possible to do this somehow else (without the counter on each link)? And how is it possible to track who opened your mail??? I saw a couple of newsletter system websites that say they can allegedly do this...
Thank you for your time!
The only way to track who opens your emails that I can think of is to use the query string trick with the images embedded in your email. This approach is obviously fragile since viewing of inline images can be turned of in most email clients.
As was mentioned; it is not possible to track everyone who opened the email. But you can track who clicked on a specific link. The method you mentioned with the #id variable will work - but instead of embedding the actual ID in the link, I would recommend encrypting that data and not sending the actual user id in the email.
To get the users who actually opened the newsletter, you can insert a 1x1 pixel image into the email as hidden content. That pixel would come from www.myserver.com/tracker.gif?foo=bar.
Then you would look at your web server log or log this request in a database so that you can track the ones who really opened the newsletter.
