Daily Digest

greg_g · Feb 1, 2006

For about 5 days now, I've been getting emails from forum@tractorbynet.com with the subject line "Daily Digest of .... ". They're completely devoid of text. Blank.

What gives?

?? I haven't been getting any, which is fine (especially if they are blank). ??

Hrm.

Ok... sorry about that.

I'll get right on it.

Just got another one. In the past, they came in plaintext format. These new ones are blank HTML. I tried to upload a copy of the email, only to discover that your site refuses the MSG file extension.

I see you got it fixed. Thanks

I've been getting the same "Daily digest of Build-It Yourself" instead of the old "Daily archive of Build-It Yourself", but the messages were not blank, indeed they had better formatting (layout) than the old "daily archive" format. The text is the same, but I appreciated the new look. Sadly (although, good for greg_g) they have gone back to the old format.

The old format (for me, using Mozilla email) has text immediately prior and following the "----" item separator line. The "digest" format had the "---" item separator on its own line with blank lines above and below. I have also had problems with HTML formatting in the items (such as font colour changes that never get closed, so highlighted text continues to the end of the archive).

Anybody got any thoughts on this ?

Thanks, John Barlow

Wish I could help John. Whereas I use do use Mozilla/Firefox for a browser, my email client is MS Outlook

I'll have to decide on which is better. It may be a setting issue with greg. I'll look at his options and then see if I can't get it working for everyone.

The email I get from tractorbynet has a lot of repeated text (content type) in the headers. I will attach the message (with headers) to this as a text file so you can see what I am receiving, one message as the "archive" (format looks bad in mozilla) and one message as the "digest" (which is more legible). This might help analyse what is going on.
