BUG: Links to YouTube Videos Do Not Show in Plain Text Mail

[GregChapman]

In the following post:
http://uk-hbbr-forum.967333.n3.nabble.com/Thames-Raid-2012-Photos-tp4025117p4025241.html
there is an embedded YouTube vdeo. The mail that plain text mail subscribers received look like this

===========================================================
Taken on my phone - Launching Polly Wee.

You are never too far from a Scotsman with some magic water.....

===========================================================

although the HTML part shows the object is embedded:

<object width="480" height="360"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/MoUCWsFyl0A?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/MoUCWsFyl0A?version=3&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

The plain text version ought to include a link to the video, as do mails that include JPEGs and other static image files.

The same forum has this Vimeo post today:
http://uk-hbbr-forum.967333.n3.nabble.com/Lithuanian-loonies-in-the-best-possible-way-tp4025254.html

This one works as I would have expected. The plain text part of the post shows as:
===========================================================


<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/20701587" width="500" height="375"
frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen
allowFullScreen></iframe> <p> http://vimeo.com/20701587 Across Europe in a
Paperboat  from  http://vimeo.com/user6219718 Julius Markevicius  on
http://vimeo.com Vimeo .</p>

===========================================================
which is good enough to allow you to launch the video.

I guess the issue is the difference between < object> and <iframe> code?

(As a BTW: if you're in the mood for a laugh and have 20 minutes to spare, it's certainly worth watching.)

I think this makes sense. I created a ticket for this task, so we should work on it in the near future. Thanks for the suggestion.
