campaigns are rendered as $user. [#1865644]

When you create a campaign from a node, the campaign is rendered as the logged-in user. This has the sideeffect that 'edit-link's' etc are getting out in the generated mail.

In my opinion the mail should be rendered as anonymous user! This might be handled by switching the user in function _mcc_body()

Using a fixed user to render the content can only be a temporary solution. In my experience with Simplenews (as maintainer for 3 years) site builders will ask for more. So I propose two changes:

Make the user selectable with which render the content.
Make the viewmode selectable with which to render the content.

I discoverred that the module already defines a custom view mode 'MailChimp Campaign'. So my second suggestion is not applicable anymore. But I do have a requirement to set/select the language with which the content is rendered.

Make the user selectable with which to render the content: Current user, Content author, any of the user roles.
Make the language selectable with which to render the content: Site default language, Current language, Content language, any of the enable languages (Language 1, Language 2, ...))

~~Currently the render language is the "Current language", this is probably the worst choice of all.~~
