Email Client
Poczta Interia (Interia.pl — Polish ISP), Android app, version 2.13.42
iOS version also probably affected (I received screenshots from a client)
Not tested yet in the Interia webmail (poczta.interia.pl) — see Additional context.
Operating System
Android 13 - Pixel 4a
Expected Result
Text wrapped in an <a> element wraps at word boundaries, like any other text.
Actual Result
Text wrapped in an <a> element is broken in the middle of words, at the exact
right edge of its container, with no hyphen. It behaves as if word-break: break-all
were applied to links by the client. Text outside a link, in the same email and the
same container, wraps normally.
Because the break only happens where text wraps, short link labels and CTAs look
fine, while linked paragraphs — and linked titles that wrap on mobile — are affected
on every line.
Steps to reproduce
- Send the code sample below to an @interia.pl address.
- Open it in the Poczta Interia Android app.
- Compare both paragraphs: the linked one breaks mid-word, the unlinked one does not.
Code sample
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
<body style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">
<table role="presentation" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<td style="padding: 16px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #333333;">
<p><a href="https://example.com" style="color: #333333;">This entire paragraph is wrapped in a link. It is long enough to wrap onto several lines, which is when the problem shows up.</a></p>
<p>This paragraph is not wrapped in a link. It is the same length and also wraps onto several lines, but it breaks correctly at word boundaries.</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Screenshots
Additional context
Found while investigating a client newsletter that displayed correctly everywhere
except Interia. Confirmed in both directions:
- Adding a link around a paragraph of a newsletter that renders correctly in Interia
reproduces the problem.
- Removing the links from the affected newsletter makes it disappear.
Reproduced across two unrelated templates, in Polish and in French, so it is not
related to content language, document size or template structure.
I could not inspect the DOM (the app's WebView is not debuggable), so I don't know
which declaration is responsible. If anyone with an Interia
account can check this in the webmail, that would help establish the scope.
