Was the email you received in one big long paragraph?

Not the one I received.

Yes, as is most of the marketing e-mail that I get from PSC.  One continuous strream, small print, URLs embedded, a complete mess.  I have told person after person after person about it and so far no improvement.

I just wanted to check for any news on Exchange Online. And as old habits die hard, I pointed my browser to http://www.progress.com/exchange

I'd suggest, that you at least add a link to the Exchange Online announcement on the Exchange 2008 retrospective page. Just the Exchange 2008 side might make one think, that there is no alternative to Exchange in this year at all.

BTW, I recently finally got someone to look into this problem and they appear to have isolated it to the software being used to send the bulk e-mails.  It has been referred to the group responsible for that software for repair ... although the possible indicated repair may be to replace the software.

This (attached) is how I received the mail.

Looks o.k.

What is your mail agent?  The people who are adversely affected that I know are running Thunderbird.  The impression I have is that the message is not quite well-formed, but that some mail agents display it more or less as intended anyway.  I have been sent the same message by different sending software and had it appear just fine, so this is clearly specific to the sending software program.  I had a similar issue with communications from WestHost, who hosts cintegrity.com and oehive.org, but in there case the message appeared all white.  That got fixed.

Outlook 2007 SP2.

I will refrain from comment ... but Outlook users don't seem to have the problem ... not that problem, anyway.

I will refrain from comment ... 

I guess we should seek a different forum for that discussion!

Or just not go there ...
