Abstract
A method and associated computer system. A composed message portion, of an electronic message, that includes a hyperlink is received and sent to a set of content rendering emulators. Each emulator is configured to emulate a rendering of content accessible through the hyperlink on a respective particular platform. An emulation result is received from the set of content rendering emulators. The emulation result is indicative of the emulated rendering of the content sent accessible through the hyperlink on the respective particular platforms emulated by the content rendering emulators. It is determined whether the emulation result indicates that the content accessible through the hyperlink can be rendered in accordance with defined rendering criteria on at least one of the respective platforms prior to transmission of a message including the message portion, and if so then a validation message is generated, and if not then a warning message is generated.
