How did you like Newsletter #2?

Andreas Raht · 02-26-2002, 02:55 PM

It was the first HTML newsletter which we have sent. OK, we tested it before we sent it out, but nevertheless I wonder how it worked with such a lot of recipients... So please tell me: Could you read it? Did you see the graphics? Did the links work?

If not, which email-client are you using? Do you have a firewall?

Most important: shall the next newsletter be in HTML-format again?

I'm sure we will provide an option for everyone to adjust his/her mailing-options (html or text) in a few days.

Everything was great. Links all worked fine. Changes? We don't need no stinking changes.

Everything worked fine for me, the graphics, links, etc. however I use Yahoo Mail, which is very HTML friendly. I'm not sure what the % of HTML-friendly e-mail services is, however.

didn't work for me to my work addres (although I could read it fine), but since HTML never works, I won't hold it against you.

edit: just checked my yahoo mail (why I need to copies, I can't say), but it looked fabulous.

You are not the only one

hellfrozeover · 02-26-2002, 06:15 PM

Of course not.

spleen1015 · 02-26-2002, 06:16 PM

15 minutes is more like it for me.

andy m · 02-27-2002, 12:22 AM

it put nude pictures of Subby on my start up screen, then proceeded to reformat my hard drive.

Loompa17 · 02-27-2002, 04:02 AM

It looked great for me, but for some reason I received it twice.

Once at 02:29:40 and again at 04:24:02. Newsletter #1 only came once.

edm · 02-27-2002, 04:13 AM

everything looked and worked here too. (Using Outlook 6.0)

I would like to see the next one in html as well.

Scott Vibert · 02-27-2002, 04:32 AM

Worked for me, but I too got it twice....

and for some reason I missed out on the edition with the pictures of Subby...

TPort · 02-27-2002, 04:48 AM

It was great.

Modern Relic · 02-27-2002, 05:13 AM

It was pretty good. Needed salt though.....

PiiWorks · 02-27-2002, 05:25 AM

I also received two copies of #2....and both of them looked good

Qrashman · 02-27-2002, 06:02 AM

I have AOL, looked great, but I did receive it twice as well.

Giants44 · 02-27-2002, 06:37 AM

not really sure, as soon as I read that the OOTP4 site was up I clicked the link and never went back to the newsletter. (I did try unsucessfully to download the game)

Damn - I knew I should have become a hacker.

no2ss · 02-27-2002, 01:17 PM

Don't use an email client that has HTML mail and I prefer text only emails. I understand that some people like flashy pictures and stuff, but I prefer my email to be text... so if there's an option for text only, that would be cool.
