    <p>I want to send html email's with my Rails Mailer. Could be <code>multipart/alternative</code> or only <code>text/html</code>. Problem is, when I send an email with a link, it appears well on Gmail, but not so good in Thunderbird.</p> <p>The problem is, that in Thunderbird, the link is 'not clickable' - it's highlighted like a link, but clicking on it does nothing.</p> <p>Links on other mails (not sent from Rails Mailer) work flawlessly.</p> <p>So my question is: how to properly send an html email, so it will be viewed properly?</p> <p><strong>Mailer code:</strong></p> <pre class="lang-rb prettyprint-override"><code>class MyMailer &lt; ActionMailer::Base def mailing_delivery(email, subject) mail(:to =&gt; email, :subject =&gt; subject) end </code></pre> <p><strong>Mail view:</strong></p> <pre><code># mailing_delivery.html.haml %p Thanks! Its your mailer! %p = link_to "Google", "google.com" </code></pre> <p><strong>Source of email</strong> <em>(some parts cut-out)<strong></em>:</strong></p> <pre><code>Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:32:34 +0200 From: xxx To: xxx Message-ID: &lt;4e4d0662bf96e_41024be957a57974@xxx.mail&gt; Subject: Super news! Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-O2-Trust: 2, 64 X-O2-SPF: neutral &lt;p&gt; Thanks! It's your mailer! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="google.com"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>Of course Rails 3. Thunderbird 5.0, but that's not the issue - because somehow other mails show up good.. And I don't think it's app specific.</p> <p>What should I do, to make this work?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I tried to change the 'content-transfer-encoding' header with no success, by doing <code>mail(:to =&gt; email, :subject =&gt; subject, "Content-Transfer-Encoding" =&gt; value)</code> or in class <code>default "Content-Transfer-Encoding" =&gt; value</code> with no luck.. how to change that?</p> <p>Emails that works good under Thunderbird have <code>Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable</code> (or eventually <code>base64</code>) so maybe that's the issue? How do I change it?</p> <p><strong>Edit 2:</strong> I managed to change the <code>Content-Transfer-Encoding</code> to <code>quoted-printable</code> but it's cutting the content, like this:</p> <pre><code>Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:04:21 +0200 From: xxx To: xxx Message-ID: &lt;4e4d704557839_151c4e4957c2132e@xxx.mail&gt; Subject: Super news! Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-O2-Trust: 2, 63 X-O2-SPF: neutral &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://ww= w.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;p&gt; Thanks! It's your mailer! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href= </code></pre> <p>One other thing: why is there a newline in <code>Content-Type</code> ? I didn't see it in other (working good) mails. How I can get rid of it?</p>

    2. COboth ways is the same. even on `multipart/alternative` - `text/plain` goes well, but `text/html` with encoding `quoted-printable` is cutting the content..

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
