I've been thinking about this since it appears I'm the only one this happened to and I have a question for the rest of you who received your Alerts email normally... Did any of you have a message within the Alerts that, when you viewed it, had an attachment with it? I'm actually starting to wonder if My Alerts attempted to send me an attachment (graphic) within the text alerts message. There is SOMETHING different that is setting mine apart and a graphic attachment seems ot make the most sense. The Base 64 encoding caused the entire thing to come through garbled--but I'm wondering whether an attempt to send a non-text image is responsible for it.

No, all mine were just plain transcriptions. That could be the problem for you, though.

Joan, I just took a look at my one, firstly in "source mode" - and saw the pile of junk that you have reported. When I opened the email in Thunderbird normally, it appeared as it should though the text is quite small. Before the recent fiasco where we didn't receive these emails at all, I used to notice that the alerts would arrive in one of three formats - this small print, larger ("normal") print, and normal print but no line breaks. I haven't noticed that happening since we started getting the emails again. I've taken a screen shot of the small and normal text posts, and posted to the board with the picture, in case you're interested - see http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.rw.admin.badmin/5145/mb.ashx Wendy PS there was no attachment showing, either in Thunderbird or on the Gmail web interface. ----- Original Message ----- *From:* [email protected] *To:* [email protected] *Sent:* 03/01/2008 6:18:31 AM +1300 *Subject:* [BAd] My Alerts -- this gets weirder and weirder > I've been thinking about this since it appears I'm the only one this > happened to and I have a question for the rest of you who received your Alerts email > normally... > > Did any of you have a message within the Alerts that, when you viewed it, > had an attachment with it? > > I'm actually starting to wonder if My Alerts attempted to send me an > attachment (graphic) within the text alerts message. > > There is SOMETHING different that is setting mine apart and a graphic > attachment seems ot make the most sense.
