Can't click on link inside an outlook email sent by Rails - ruby-on-rails

I have a problem when i send email using Rails email text format, the email contains a link for password reset and all work fine, but when i open email in outlook the link is shown but can't click on. this problem is only when send an email to an hotmail/live/outlook account, is there a solution for that?

Check out this link. It may be a simple matter of changing your Outlook settings.

Email Verification link not working when clicked, but works when pasting the link url itself

I have a verification email that is sent out to users that sign up for a website I have developed. When the user signs up I send them an HTML email that has an anchor tag (hyperlink) <a href="https://app.example.com/verify-email/akdios-aksdjofs-aisodfjsa" >Activate Account</a>.I believe this is a URL/href problem because if you click on the link it only takes you to the site https://app.example.com. Whereas if you paste the link in the browser then the proper verification page is loaded and the account is verified.
Email clients tested: outlook, (and various work email domains.).What would be causing my link to not work when clicked, but works when I copy the link in the email, then paste it into the browser url?Is there a way to ensure that clicking the link will work no matter what the email client (specifically outlook has been giving trouble).

Reply button in Email MVC 4

I am using MailerBase in MVC 4.0 to send the Email. This is working fine perfectly. My question is: When I send the Email, I want to add a button, so that when user click on this button, will send reply of the email without clicking the default button like Reply in yahoo/GMail mails.
Is it possible in .NET MVC4 ?
This question is not specifically related to ASP.NET MVC. The closest you could get is to include an anchor with the mailto: inside the body of the message:
Reply
If the user clicks on this link it will be opened with the default email client that he has associated on his computer.
This being said, doing such things is a bad idea. People normally know how to reply to emails in their favorite email client. Another reason why this is a bad idea is that most email clients will simply block links in email messages especially if they are not from trusted sources. So even if you include such link it will be useless.

Rails: making an email pop-up box

I need the functionality to allow a user to send an email to another user. It would be ideal if they get a gmail pop-up with the user's email pre-filled. However, I'm unsure how I to approach this feature.
1) Is this possible?
2) If it is. How would I go about it?
Well, assuming they have (and are signed into) Gmail, and have setup their machine to open mailto links with Gmail, just a mailto:some.guy#gmail.com link would do. You could also specify a subject by appending ?subject=This+is+a+test to the end of the mailto link.
<a href='mailto:some.guy#gmail.com?subject=This+is+a+test'>Email Some Guy</a>

Form submission in iOS app?

Im really new to iOS development, but I have some experience in OSX. I am trying to make an app where the users fills out text fields with information and then presses a submit button. The contents of the fields that they filled out are then automatically sent to me via an email.
I built a similar OSX application that could do this, but I cannot figure out how to do it on iOS.
I do not want to use the MessageUI.framework because, as far as I can tell, the user must press the send button after it brings up the email form. I just want it to send in the background.
I have no problem hardcoding in the email address and password, or using the same email for send and receive. ex: to: me#gmail.com from: me#gmail.com
Any pointers would be sweet!
You have two options if you do not want to show the mail composer window to the user
Use an SMTP Client for iOS like this one and send the email from your app with the email id and password hard-coded in the app. But if you want to change the email id or change the password in the future, you'll need to update the app. So this is a less desirable solution
Create a web script on your server which accepts the form fields to be submitted by the user. Then from this web script, send the email to your email id (for instance, if you use a PHP script, use the mail function to send the email). Call this script in the app using NSURLConnection.
You are going to need to make a custom form and then send all of the fields in the form as POST parameters to a custom API that you make on some server. Then you can just redirect that as an email to yourself through something like SMTP

Email Link Unable to open on outlook

In my project i integrated html email for reset password option.User click on link and if user submit his email he will get mail having link to reset his password.
The link is opening on Gmail. But the same link is not working when I open in Out look. It is non clickable mode.
Is html email won't workout on Outlook? or coding any change required to integrate.
Please reply?
Finally I resolved the issue. In my web page having some commented code. When I removed the commented code now the mail is coming properly and all the links are working. I believe this commented code has some influence in terms of security concern of outlook.
So when ever write the mail function etc need to make the page is very clean and all unwanted comments etc should be removed.
