Hey Jason,

Are you sending out the Digest as a Mulit-part (MIME) or just html? We (at my work) have been having problems with some of our memebership getting blank email since we started sending our newsletter out at mulit-part.


WHY? :cry:

I'll ask Fabrizio how we're doing it - I don't honestly know.

I might be able to help. If you're set to HTML but using a plaintext reader, it's set to multipart but the text section is blank. I haven't had a chance to raise that with Fabrizio. Just go into your user preferences and change it to text-only. :)

Aha, right. So the reason why (for the others) is that we didn't want to increase the size of the HTML newsletter even further by bundling a plain text version with it - we've opted to give you a choice between pure HTML and pure text. You can change it in your preferences. (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/profile.php?mode=editprofile)

Right, but the HTML version shouldn't have a MIME type of text/multipart, but rather just text/html. It's relatively low-priority, I think, since HTML readers will always grab the HTML version of a multipart MIME email.
