Why am I receiving garbled e-mails?
Girl Scouts –
Mt. Wilson Vista Council sends e-mails that conform to Internet standards, known as RFCs, for how mail is formatted, transmitted,
and displayed. If garbled mail is received, it is a result of a contact's e-mail client.
E-mail clients that
are likely to receive our e-mails poorly are Mac Mail, GroupWise, Eudora, Lotus Notes, OE/Macintosh, and Outlook '97.
These email clients do not strictly follow these RFC standards, either by design or due to bugs they later address in their
own software.
If your e-mails are received garbled, you may choose to access our e-mails from a web client like
Hotmail or Yahoo! instead.
Why can’t I see images
in the e-mail?
Here are the possible reasons why you may not able to see images in your e-mail:
1. You
are using an e-mail client, such as Outlook 2003, that includes an option to block images.
2. Your ISP or
corporate mail server is blocking the images from being displayed.
3. You requested a text-only version and
only see the text without the formatting, colors, and images.
4. You are using an e-mail client that generally
has issues with displaying HTML e-mail and images, e.g. Mac Mail, GroupWise, Eudora, Lotus Notes, OE/Macintosh or Outlook
'97. You may get formatting that looks strange or you may get text e-mail with links where the images should have
appeared.
I have a Hotmail account and cannot see images or click on links in the e-mail. Why is that?
Hotmail has come out with a beta version of its email client called Windows Live Mail. Now, as with AOL,
Windows Live Mail has a security feature that automatically turns off the ability to view images, download attachments, and
click links in any emails coming from unknown senders.
This means that if you are not in your contact's
address book, your email could initially look like the one below. In order to view the email completely, simply instruct the
contact to click the "Show content" link at the top of the email.
My email images are not displaying
in Outlook. Why?
