    First thing that pops into my eyes is

    <a href="${emailUrls.getTapestryUrl("

    not looking right this one =)...just search that in your template, around line 200 it was I believe...should probably be more something like this:

    <a href="${emailUrls.getTapestryUrl()}"

    but I would have to look it up in the docs, trying to avoid dealing with email templates as much as possible =)...just looking at all that inline CSS and tables hurts my feelings!

Thanks luk ,

You can take a look at my code if you want - https://glitch.com/edit/#!/join/bc431a18-c790-4eee-ba16-6191d76983cc 

 I can't believe you guys are debugging email templates like this...Is there some Velocity engine template linter/debugger/validator?

Can't stop wondering why Lithium platform in 2018 is still using those dinosaurs from Apache foundation...

Myko_P regarding dinosaurs: good question indeed =), and then pop a ton of quite reduntant javascript on top with a very easily debuggable mix of jQuery, Angular and soon React (as it seems)^^...IMHO the entire application needs to split into a legacy branch with EOL in maybe 2 years, rebuild the entire thing on a clean tech-stack and move on from there, but I guess that's wishful thinking...

I'll have a look at the template and see if something jumps into my eyes, but can't promise... and no, afaik there is no linter/debugger or anything alike, but I can be wrong, not really an oldschool Java dev here...
