First time player. Started a save up and noticed the #error: category in my mail box and in players scouting tabs. Hopefully the link works

That looks like something's gotten corrupted in the save's messages/news database. Easiest way to fix it would be to close the game, then go into that save's folder and delete the files named db_news, db_news-shm, and db_news-wal (the latter two may not be present), as well as messages.dat. Then reload the game - you'll lose all the messages that currently exist, but all of the new ones will work normally after that.
