Change in email summary forum embedded links
Between Dec 9th and Dec 18th the email daily summary links back to forums (in the email) now seem to be missing a carriage return or end of line "character". I assume it is part of the link format change.
The embedded web link picks up the "In" in "In forum:*" for the next line in the email, thus concatenating the "*.html" web link to form *.htmlIn".
I am using MS Office:Entourage 11.4.0 (on a Mac) to view the email.
On Dec 9th:

Started to see "*htmlIN"
So it looks like the change from show thread to direct html could use more "formatting" to be correct in some email readers. A simple CR or EOL, or a blank line following the "*.html" line would seem to do the trick.

Kein,
I looked at the thread you linked to on Dec 18th and I didn't see anything unusual. I'm using Explorer 7. Don't have a Mac here. Can you run another browsere or, am I not doing the right things to see the problem?

Bob,
I'll attach a screen shot (below) as a GIF, cut and past of text loses the formatting in the "in line" post I made. The problem shows up in the Entourage (Mac OS X) email program (screen shot of opened email), so it gets "passed" on to Firefox and Safari both with the extra "In" on the link.
My guess is a missing end of line character.
Cheers,
Kevin

Yes it has, last nights summaries are working!
In the future if you need a Mac OS tester, feel free to give me a PM. Happy to contribute to the effort.
