Bizzare behavior from "E-Mail Counts"
For the past month, I've been testing out the "E-Mail Counts" program offered by www.godaddy.com.
This is a web hosted application that handles bulk emailing of newsletters.
It's actually a pretty slick app. It has a great interface, a reasonable price ($ 30 per year), and puts out some very nice looking e-mails.
But, it isn't without its bugs. There are some really annoying bugs in the editor, but they can be worked around
The biggest problem I've had is that some of the e-mails that it generates do not render well in Outlook 2003. But only on some computers!
I talked to their tech support (nice people), but they couldn't figure it out either. They were not running Outlook 2003, so they could not see what I was seeing.
I was gettings sentences like this: thisisthekindofsentencethatIwasgetting.
No spaces. Even when checking the html source code, there were no spaces. But in the same email sent to Outlook XP, it was fine. Send it to hotmail? No problem!
Weird.
Anyway, we'll see if it really works out though. I surely hope so.
Another interesting problem is that the spam killer at WGM headquarters kills SOME of my emails. Just some. Some get through. Others are killed.
And they are identical!
Go figure. AOL is doing the same thing to me.
