Hi wyrwulf,
With our new broadcast feature, we now send the same version of the newsletter to all our members.
For readers that have their email set not to display images, you can click on the link which appears at the very top of the newsletter and the newsletter will be displayed in your internet browser:
This message contains images. If you are having trouble reading it, click here.
If you have any questions, or did not receive any newsletter at all, please let me know. I'll be happy to help.
Best wishes,
Lillian
Lillian Hawkins
Marketing Manager
By serving each other, we are free.

And what if we do not want an html newsletter?
thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)

You can have any format you want, so long as it's HTML.williamsn posted Fri, 07 July 2006 at 7:43 PM
Specifically, it is possible to send out HTML and Plain-text emails within one single unit, and the settings on a user's email client will dictate how it displays. If you have your email client set to display HTML, you'll see the HTML version. If you have your email client set to NOT display HTML, you'll see the alternate plain-text version. However, because of the fact that the plain text version detracts from the newsletter experience and prevents us from being able to see what percentage of members read the email and which links sections of the newsletter were more popular, etc, our "plain-text" version consists of simply a line saying something like "Your email client is set to not display HTML. To view the newsletter, please copy and poste the link [....] into your web browser.". Basically, if your email client is set to display HTML, you will see HTML. If not, you will see only a URL which you will be able to copy and paste into your browser to view the newsletter. N

I have image loading and scripts turned off, so your tracking stats may be out, but I always use the link to monthly freebie.
No need for me to load the images, as I'm pretty certain that I've seen or will see everything mentioned in the newsletter during normal browsing visits and the text is sufficient to check.
I'm not expecting you to change anything, I only mentioned it originally as it appeared to be a bug.
The answer given to my original post was sufficient for me, I just thought I'd link to it to save you having to repeat it.
My impersonation of Mr. Ford was a tongue-in-cheek way of both summarising the linked thread content and a means of not saying "See linked thread" :tt2:

I prefer to get Just the newsletter, text or html.
Was Shocked when I looked at 'My Profile' options and found this: "Receive email newsletters, announcements, and special offers from this site? Yes No " Had received an unsolisited commercial from a vendor I never use about a site I will never visit. That is how and why I discovered the change. Will put up with having announcements. I assume these are about Renderosity itself. Want the Right to Refuse 'special offers' [commercials].
In the mean time, I changed the setting to 'No', and will suffer without any of them.

All of which is a rather interesting way of saying "if you don't want an HTML newsletter, eat my shorts.".
Nice...
