I would like for the email recipients to be able to click on a link to view the email in their browser if they are having problems viewing their email newsletter normally.  Does anyone know how to find the email's url?

Thank you,

Linda

    Linda,

    From the Links component in the WYSIWYG, select Email Message. From there you can insert a link to view an Email online. The link will look like http://www.foo.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=XXXX, where XXXX is the unique ID of the Email. Note that in order for an Email to show up in the list of links, you'll need to have checked "Enable web viewing of messages" on Step 3 of the Email Campaign setup.

    The easiest way is to use http://www.nrcprograms.org/site/MessageViewer.  This automatically pulls in the URL for the specific message.

    We used to use http://www.nrcprograms.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=11041.0 (where 11041.0 is the email id) before the MessageViewer worked right, but there doesn't seem to be a need for that anymore.  To find the email id, when you are editing the email, it shows in your browser address window.

    The good thing about not needing the email id is that we don't have to change the stationery every time we want to send out a new email.

    Is this what you needed?  If not, post again. 

    Thanks!

    There is a small gap I can't get rid of on the right side of this newsletter.

    Can anyone help me?  Here is the link to the newsletter:  http://join.strength.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=25401.0
