Sending Link via E-Mail

[rmsta]

Hello,

this is probably not a topic of Annex RDS but SMTP - but I am not able to judge.
Sending E-Mails works fine. I was trying to send a Link in an E-Mail:

MAIL.SETUP "smtp.gmail.com", 465,"xxx@googlemail.com", "yyy",1
A$="Link "+"http://192.168.0.150/text.pdf"
r=EMAIL ("xxx@googlemail.com","zzz@gmx.de","Test",A$)

Which ends up with an empty E-Mail. It seems that a colon (chr$(58)) could not be transmitted
and all other text is removed.
Any hint ?

Greetings
Rainer

Yes, it is a problem already discussed in the old forum and it even has a note added on the Annex website:
https://sites.google.com/site/annexwifi ... send-email

"NOTE:
if you message contains colons ie a time $ "10:12:34" then it may not send. A work around is to use the replace $ command to replace: with - "

Ok, understood.
With the colon it could be interpreted with Outlook as Link, which could be clicked on.
So, I will try to find a different solution.
Anyhow, thank you.

Google Mail (Gmail) has this problem when receiving.
The email is sent and arrives ok.
If you view the email source in your email client you will see the text including the colon.

I have found that simply NOT putting it on the first line works ok with gmail.
So my program looks something like this:-

vbcrlf$ = chr$(13) + chr$(10)
msg$ = vbcrlf$ + Date$ + " " + time$
r = EMAIL("****", "****@gmail.com", "ESP8266 message ", msg$)

This is the solution. It works like expected !
Many thanks for that.
