I think I know what the issue is now, it seems that the CRED email editor force adds the following ( \ ' ) to every HTML tag's special symbols
For example, the following HTML
<img src='./doc_files/1x2.gif' width='30' height='2' alt='' border='0' style='display:block;'>
Get's messed up like this
<img width=" \' 30 \' " height=" \' 2 \' " alt=" \' \' " border=" \' 0 \' ">
Also elements such as
img src
and
a href tags
gets stripped out. I think this has something to do with the CRED editor.
