ConEd bill broken HTML
This is not a request for help. This is not a problem with my account. This is a bug report for ConEd's emails. Please forward this messages to whatever department handles technical web/email problems.
Every month, we receive an email titled "Your Con Edison Bill Is Ready."
In the middle of the email is a big blue button labelled "Pay Now."
Clicking the button does not take you to a bill payment page. (It does not go anywhere.)
This button has not worked since December 2020. Every bill since January 2021 (20 months and counting) has contained broken HTML.
This is due to malformed HTML.
Here's what we receive:
<a href="9/6/2022" style="background-color:#1582be;border:1px solid #1582be;border-radius:20px;color:#ffffff;display:inline-block;font-family: sans-serif, Arial, Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:44px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:200px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:no
Note the href contains the date and not the URL.
