BTW, if Barry is gone for the weekend, and there is another administrator that could possibly deal with this problem; just send me an e-mail, and I will reply with the same e-mail I Sent to Barry.
Thanks!
Nope, alas I am not gone. Here I am Laboring away...:waccosun:Quote:

I'll contact you privately.
Hey Barry - I don't know if this is related - there's some sort of HTML problem with the digests - frequently it self-sizes to way wider than my screen and becomes nearly impossible to read. Is there a way to make the width something reasonable. I looked at the source (except for the css stuff) and it is all things like width=1%, width=100%, etc. Nothing obvious.
Maybe the problem is my end - I'm using Outlook 2007 as my mail client (current patches).
Outlook 2007 also has the safety feature of NOT downloading the images (banners) until told to do so - this seems to be something that changed recently, because before a month or two (?) ago the images were downloaded (slowly) as part of the mail.
Something to "labor" over! (Hey - we're working Monday too.)
Happy trails...
FWIW, my mail client is Entourage, and it too has recently (a couple of months ago) begun holding off on downloading the pictures on WacccoBB until I direct it to do so. But I haven't noticed lately a problem with the text wrapping too wide, though it has happened in the past.
I can't control whether your email client downloads the images. There should be some setting to tell it to always do so for that sender ([email protected]). Adding [email protected] in your address book should also help.
Since we take the unusual step of allowing users to post html code, you never know what's going to happen/break! We try to preview the digest every night before it goes out, but occasionally we miss a day. Let me know when it is too wide again, and I'll see if that's happening for me too, or if it seems to be something about your email reader.
