Can't Read Kim Komando Emails

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

I get the following error message in emails I recieve from Kim Komando

"If you are seeing this message your e-mail program may not be compatible with HTML."

I've tried to find the proper settings in spamcop to receive Kim Komando's daily emails but I can't get it to work.

Can you suggest a work around?

Thanks,

Chip

Hi chipper338!

I think you'll have to help us a little further. You don't say how you receive these Emails nor which program you read them in.

I could assume that you are using a SpamCop flat rate Email account through the webmail interface. But that would be a risky assumption.

I get these newsletters and they reach me just fine. My mail program opens them without any particular issues but I always view the alternate text version. I can't say I even realised that the newsletters came in HTML.

So, if you can confirm the software in use, someone may be able to help you.

Hi Andrew,

I use the flat rate browser based email system so your assumption is correct.

The Kim Komando email i received references a FAQ and the part that probably covers my issue is one of the following corrections for other email programs. I've changed message viewing part of the options that allows HTML messages to be displayed from folks in my address book. Is there anything else I should check?

Hi chip!

I'm not sure I can help much. If the messge originated by Kim Komando is formatted in a way that the webmail doesn't like then I guess it will just not display it correctly.

I suppose you could treat each message as an alert that a new newsletter is published and then go to the relevant website and view it there in your browser.

You are, after all, on line and clicking over to the newsletter isn't probably a big deal.

Sorry not to be of more help. If any other insights come to mind I'll post them here. Perhaps after I get my next newsletter and I'll try and view it online.

Andrew
