Corrupted Global Spec Newsletters When Using Vista

02/26/2009 10:35 AM

About 3 months ago, all of the Newsletters I subscribe to at Global Spec started coming through in plain text instead of HTML and if I click on any link, I am taken to "page not found message".

I tried every tweak I could think of to no avail and just started deleting immediately figuring it was a typical MS thing and would go away as it had before, after updates. But is hasn't yet.

Yesterday I was talking to a rep in one of our Federal Government Agencies and a form I was to download on their site caused the same error message when I put the link in the address bar, not a search engine. After 3 attempts, I was advised that IE7 does not like a lot of direct links used by the Government Agencies and only previous versions of IE7 and most of the time other browsers.

First, I have tried the other browsers and they are too cute, huggy, and warm fuzzy for me.

So, any suggestions on what to do?

Hi qaqcpipeman,

I'm forwarding this on to our newsletter team. It sounds like a browser issue, but they may have heard something and know of a way to help rectify it.

Chris,

Thanks.

The first time it happened early last year, it came back right away and was good for awhile, but started again as I stated.

It also happens sporadically with a couple of other ezines I receive, but never as bad as Global Spec.

My tech guru keeps telling me that it might be caused by MS Updates but should settle down within a day.

Personally,, I think he is fishing and isn't sure himself.

I've been having the same problem. I thought it was because I switched email accounts from a web-based one to one I access through Outlook.

GlobalSpec IT guy, I have tried every tweak recommended, singed up anew for newsletters, etc, and when I click on any link as below, nothing happens. All other newsletters come through Vista and Outlook properly. You are in my address book also.

This is what I see when I click on any of the links:

Error: unable to determine mailing/contact information.

The most common reason for this is that your browser or email reader has garbled or removed a few characters from the link that you clicked. If the problem message is in your Junk or Bulk folder, try moving it back to your Inbox. Some email readers disable clicks in Junk mail.

To search for the correct message, please enter your subscribed email address:

If this problem persists, please send a message to support@ipost.com. Please use cut-and-paste to include the following diagnostic information in your message:

Timestamp: 1237306309

— once the demolition foreman pushes the trigger. Sound like something from a nightmare?

Not with demolition technology developed by Japan's Kajima Construction.

Instead, the ground floor is "disassembled," hydraulic jacks lower the building, and the process repeats. Evacuating entire city blocks to protect people from flying concrete, glass, and steel is no longer necessary. Dust and noise are greatly reduced; there is virtually zero disruption to surrounding structures

Re: Corrupted Global Spec Newsletters When Using Vista

03/17/2009 1:53 PM

Hi qaqcpipeman,

This is a response from our tech folks:

This problem is usually the result of a conflict between your anti-virus program and your email program - the combo we've seen the most is with AVG 8.0 and Outlook.

The reason for it is that AVG adds a small bit to the end of an email to certify it as "clean", but then Outlook doesn't recognize it as HTML anymore and displays it as text... which then breaks the links.

To fix this, go into AVG's advanced settings and under the options for email scanning, uncheck the box for certification of incoming mail (this doesn't stop it from scanning your emails, just stops it from adding the certification).

This change will only affect future incoming email, not ones you've already received.

Hope this helps

Did this, and Thanks Chris.

Is it possible to resend todays GS Newsletters for a test?

Thank You Chris,

The fix worked, and I never thought about that new little annoying addon from AVG causing the problem.

In addition, it has removed the Web Site scan on searches also, which got to be a pain at times.

Kudos to you and your IT Crew.

Thanks from me also. However, I haven't received any newsletters yet today. But then, they havent' shown up until late evening at times, so I'm not worried.
