Hi Peop's

Ref. Outlook 2003 POP3
I've recently started to get a random problem with mails sent as HTML such
as newsletters, they display as follows, it does not happen all the time
from a given source!. I have checked all PST's with the fix pst tool.

e.g.

HYPERLINK "http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Special_Images/hmv_my_news.gif"

HYPERLINK "http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Special_Images/hmv_my_world.gif"

HYPERLINK "http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Special_Images/hmv_rec_logoclass.gif"

HYPERLINK
"http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/navigate.do?ct&pPageID=1115&source=9913"Various
Artists: BBC Radio Three Awards For World Music



Existing HTML mails will open corectly. WHere woululd i stat to loook for
the cause of this problem.
 
Pretty Please "What"? You have not defined the problem. You simply gave us
links to pictures to look at. Do you want us to say they are "Pretty"? Ok,
pretty pictures.

No i didn't stupid, i used the sentence...

"I've recently started to get a random problem with mails sent as HTML such
as newsletters, they display as follows."

Then i posted the problem apparent.

I added the pretty please when i didnt get a reply for some weeks.

Open your eye's before you open your mouth you muppet.

Have a lousy day, idiot!!
 
REALLY!

"Then i posted the problem apparent." Maybe on your bulletin board but not
in this newsgoroup. If there is problem hidden within the pictures you
linked, you have NOT defined the actual problem.

By the way, thanks for the Muppet compliment. Jim Henson did indeed create
brilliant characters that mystified, thrilled, enlightened and educated my
children, and now my grand-children.

Be glad to help if you define the problem.
 
I have to admit, Steve, I cannot see where you have explained the problem
either. Maybe one of the pictures you linked is supposed to be of an error
message but isn't? Or, is it supposed to look like something else, but you
have not told us what? I, too, will be happy to try to help, but the random
problem is not clear.
 
Ditto

Hi Steve
Are the newsletters being sent "To" you or "From" you? What do the pictures
mean? Are you sending them out to look like the site link, but they are only
showing up like the pictures? Does it look like one picture to one recipient
and another to someone else? Need more info.

I mentioned that it was 'supposed' to be displayed as a web page, as per my
clip it was being displayed in Outlook as apparently HTML source code.

This is something that happens quite frequently.

It is a newsletter sent to me from HMV, it is supposed to be an HTML
document containing information on CD Albums DVD's etc, instead of getting a
WEB page I'm getting what appears to be source code.

This is just one example, i also get similar from MSI and Microsoft
bulletins, its purely random, if one in a poll is duff they all are.
 
This sounds like the message headers are being messed up somewhere before
they get to Outlook - a single blank line in a message indicates the end of
the headers, and if one occurs too soon (before, say, a "Content-Type:
text/html" header field), Outlook won't know how to interpret the message
and will just display everything it receives uninterpreted. Could you post
the message headers (View -> Options on the message, copy from the edit box
at the bottom) and the first, say, 20 lines of a message that you receive
that isn't displaying properly?
 
Hi Jeff

Thanks for getting back to me, unfortunately all affected messages have been
culled, i will make a point of saving the next faulty message and posting as
requested.

Thanks for you time.
