New Look Weekly Email

It's still being clipped in Gmail. I don't know why but I don't like requiring the click to read the rest of it, so I don't do it.

Also am I missing fonts on my computer or are you really mixing Times New Roman headlines above a different font for the paragraphs? More uniformity would be better instead of messy varying fonts, none of which being Times New Roman.

I mentioned it was clipped last week without even an acknowledgement from staff.

I assumed I was at the bottom and deleted the email just now.

Another clipped email today. This time I clicked the 'not displaying properly?' link at the top to read it on the site instead, but you still have to click a link from that page, and then get rid of the pop-up box telling me to subscribe to the email. Bloody rubbish.

They obviously don't care as they haven't even commented on it in weeks.

Hi guys,

We are reading this thread and trying to find a solution - our email is actually very long and we fear it may just be over Gmails max word count - but I can assure you the techie team are investigating.

In my case, it is clearly because I remove all images before reading.
It used to print "image removed for security purposes" within the boundary of the picture (obviously with the font size varied to reflect the size of the image). So it was still neatly laid out and easy to read.
Now, that text is printed right across the email in large font with no reference to the image boundary.
It overwrites the rest of the text, making large parts unreadable.
I can get around the problem, but I wish I didn't have to ...

Problem fixed with the October 13th edition of the email.
My thanks to the MSE web team.

The weekly email is getting later and later

I used to get the email first thing on a Wednesday, but as of late note getting it until after noon (last week it was almost 3pm!)

Also, the subject was iffy again this week - gave a subject of

Well weren't you lucky then. They aren't all sent out at the same time so sometimes some people will get it early, other times others will. If it's that much of a problem just visit the website and view it "first thing on a wednesday":

I've left it a few weeks to comment on the email because I wanted to acclimatise myself to it and not jump to early conclusions.

The thing I can't get comfortable with is the side-by-side layout of the headlines at the start. Although it may be visually more appealing to look at, it is very irritating to have to jump from side to side reading unrelated items.

I find myself almost ignoring it and moving directly down to the simple scrollable body of the email further down.

The old email, while not particularly attractive, was easier to read scanning straight downwards.
