Email drafts will not open on Email Editor 2.0

Question

It looks like this is only happening to non-template v1.0 emails that have duplicate mkteditable div's in the code. The 1.0 editor has never had any issues with this so we never felt the need to avoid the duplicates. With 2.0, the draft won't even open and a "cannot load email" message shows up.

This presents a big problem for us because we set up all of our email programs by cloning a previously used email program. It also prevents us from making any changes to v1.0 emails that are still being sent like autoresponders.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Ideally, the 2.0 editor should automatically change the div id names to prevent duplicates if it won't tolerate them.

Pretty sure that once you turn this on, you lose alot of capabilities to edit previous Templates and Emails the old way.

Thanks, Josh, I took another look at the document and it does look like duplicate ID's will cause errors.

Unfortunately, this is a big issue for us because there is no feasible way for us to go through every email on our instance, find the ones with duplicate ID's and make the corrections for each manually. We start emails using templates but we break from them on a regular basis as rearranging the order of v1 mkteditable elements requires changing the HTML.

Looks like we'll have to revert back to v1 for the time being.
