Create shorter and less spam prone urls

Would be great feature to have. But I'm a bit concerned about making it backwards compatible... That would create a lot of overhead.

I will tackle this one since I consider it a vital part for a stable 3.x release.

I am running 6.x-3.x-dev with simplenews 6.x-2.x on a production server since about 5 days ago. Works without a hitch, thank you!

I also use simplenews template 6.x-1.x-dev and get the same problem that I had with the previous versions of all three modules.

Once the simplenews statistics links are injected into the actual mail output (i.e. only during a cron run, NOT during the test), the whole html layout that I coded using the template module is widened out and the table layout does not work anymore.

Does this have to do with the lengths of the simplenews statistics links?

That shouldn't have anything to do with that... Can you please open a new support request issue for this. And also post the generated email so I can see what the problem is?

I found the reason. As you said, it has nothing to do with simplenews statistics or the link lengths.

Reason for the issue: when cron generates the simplenews newsletter, it uses the style sheet of the admin theme.
Solution: set the admin theme to the same theme as site theme.

This issue has been solved in another thread, I am posting the link only for reference:

Again, thank you for the great simplenews stats module!

This has been comitted. There is now a dependency on the Short URL module.
