Desktop Alert display href content

[Firas Rashid]

If it happened an Html email contains <a> element as the first element,
Outlook Desktop alert display the content of its href attribute. Why
this behavior occur? And how to prevent this?

outlook displays the plain text portion of a message in the alert. if the
message does not contain a plain text section, it uses the source code. It
will not render html.

so.. always send messages with a plain text part.

The email is already an Html email, it contains text portion plus Html
source code. It happened that the first element in the message is
anchor element, which its href attribute's content appear in the
Desktop Alert.

href attribute is part of Html soruce code and suppose not to be
displayed if message already contains text portion. Back to the
problem, Desktop Alert insist to display href and drops any other
defiend attributes, for example:
<a style="somestyle" title="title" href="somelink">Link</a> .. the
following will be shown <href="somelink">.
