Got email to Yahoo mail with link for resetting password to someplace else. The link is disabled.
Couldn't find anyway at Yahoo to fix this (Mail went to spam folder, BTW)
So, I sent it to myself at an AOL address...usually goes to regular mail when I forward to myself but this time also went to Spam with a disabled link.
I viewed the message source and it had the notation "disabled' next to the link in Yahoo and 'no follow' "removed"in AOL......was hoping I could c/p it.
I can't find how to achieve this.
Any solutions?
What I am looking for is old contacts on AIM, which I haven't used in a long time so getting a new account won't be the answer since it wouldn't contain the old contacts.
The rel="nofollow" is irrelevant, it's just a direction for search engines to not give the link any "link juice" for SEO purposes.
The URL does not appear in the source code..it is removed in AOL and in Yahoo, the source comes up as the entire page, not just the email in question........I didn't find it by scanning down through it but suppose if I wanted to spend half hour reading it...but if I did locate it and it was removed from Yahoo also...well...just hoped there is a way to get my email programs to allow all links.
I certainly have that ability in most mails. I don't know why this time is an exception or why they are going to Spam folder
I also tried to mark it as Not Spam and it wouldn't transfer it.
If I am reading correctly, you can change where the email is sent and want an email account that won't strip such links from your email. Like Coalman, I'm not sure that such links are removed. Rather than searching every line, just F3 your view of the source page and search on something like ://
You may find it that way. It'll certainly be a lot quicker in any case.

I thought of a quicker search just after my last post, brought up the source code and used CTRL F to put in a search box.
Every GDadvertisement seemed to be there but only a strange selections of emails.....not even sequential .........the one I wanted was, of course, not included. Used several limited use words included in that email...like 'reset', my 'other' email name (used for ID verification) "password"......that's when I discovered every email showing on that page wasn't included.
Assuming the email is being sent originally to the Yahoo account go into your Yahoo settings(or where it's being sent) and there should be an option to forward all email to another account. Do that and have it resent.
If it's Yahoo removing the link it probably won't be processed by them and kicked right to the account it's being forwarded too.

That's the first thing I tried.......any forwards are sent with the link either disabled or eliminated.
You said you forwarded it to yourself which I'm assuming means you opened it in Yahoo email and then forwarded it. What I mean is you're going to automatically forward to your other account, Yahoo is just going to bounce it to whatever email account you specify. You'll need to have the email resent.
AOl sent it to Yahoo as a alternate verification address so I could change a password for an old AIM account.
Even though these are my own addresses, they are being sent to the SPAM folder, which, must be , strips the links (For my protection)
I would have to contact AOL to have them do something different.
It's simply not that important to even think of trying to get anywhere that way.......do they even use humans anymore? Would I get a canned response that had nothing to do with my question? Will I live long enough to get a resolution that way?
Thanks for trying to help, but this week is not a good one for testing my patience.
I preferred to contact a couple of old friends personally first, but by now, they've read the obituary in the paper anyway.
Thanks again for your effort.
