Out of all the searching and reading it seems like I must be the only one experiencing this problem. I've reached a dead end. I'll put a copy of this post in the module rules area and see if anyone else might be able to help.
Hi Jim,
Sorry to hear this has been such a pain. Would you mind posting your installed module list and Drupal version? That might help to pinpoint the problem.
<shot-in-the-dark-guess> There is probably more than one way this can happen, but I am guessing something like drupal_html_to_text() (http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--mail.inc/function/drupal_html_to_...) is called somewhere in the process (e.g. it is invoked when a module calls drupal_mail()) of sending your email. It does some cleanup on mail text, including replacing html anchor tags with footnotes:
// Replace inline <a> tags with the text of link and a footnote. // 'See <a href="http://drupal.org">the Drupal site</a>' becomes // 'See the Drupal site [1]' with the URL included as a footnote.
The odd thing is, you still have the original url in your message body. So, not sure what is happening there. However, I would think you were on the right track in trying to find a way to get a raw form of the URL if HTML anchors are converted into the footnote style. Are you using the Link Module to get that ield-roomslink" field, or is that some other kind of text field? The Link Module should give you a raw url option, I would think. </shot-in-the-dark-guess>
Anyway, an enabled modules list and Drupal version might help to clarify some of this stuff.
Good Luck, Chad
