NATS Sponsor Newsletters

Useless · 2009-01-05, 09:30 AM

Does anyone else get newsletters (from sponsors who employ NATS) and get the joy of trying to read HTML rather than the newsletter? My email settings in Thunderbird are set to view messages as "original HTML" - and any other HTML newsletters come through just fine. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that both SoloSlutCash and Fetish Wealth use NATS and those are the two I seem to have issues with. What's up with that?

UW - I'm not sure what the problem is with that either but I've been telling the Fetish Wealth guys about the newsletters being broken in Eudora too. Usually I can click an 'open in browser' button in my email client and read all html newsletters in Firefox, but while their emails contain html, they're not recognized as html docs to open them. If you have time, maybe drop them a note letting them know the messages are broken in Thunderbird too.

NATS always helps you make mistakes more easily it seem ... and it should really be the other way around (almost like M$ wrote the damn thing).

NATS programmers fucked up and forgot to create a proper MIME message, so most mail clients won't know what to do with it.

Not surprising really.

Isn't Thunderbird a cheap wine?

In any event, I used to have that problem a lot when I was using Eudora, but since I changed to Gmail, that problem has gone away.

It could be worse - I'd rather have html code that I can copy & paste & then view as opposed to the run on sentence crap that most of the CCBill programs send out.
