Hi<br />
<br />
I am building the following clickable button link and it looks good and works well in most emailing systems except gmail where it just appears as a normal hyperlink with no border. Why would that be?<br />
<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dim oLinkAccept As String = &quot;<a href="http://SteelYard.azurewebsites.net/offers_by_me?oOfferID=" rel="ugc">http://SteelYard.azurewebsites.net/offers_by_me?oOfferID=</a>&quot;&nbsp;&amp; oOfferID &amp;&nbsp;&quot;&amp;oCounterofferAcceptDecli<wbr />ne=Accept&quot;<wbr /><br />
