Sorry to hear that the CNET Deals newsletter are looking like gobbledy **** in your email client. Can you tell me what email client you are using?
CNET only offer HTML newsletters and unfortunately no other options. In the newsletter you can always click the "View online" link to see the newsletter in the browser. It will look like this:
http://enews.cnet.com/hostedemail/email.htm?CID=37230851413&ch=D92BF661AD77CEA6041EB84B64831A5E&h=14c98e42f91bc368b22b31f64cf19ed0&ei=Wffm7EbNx&schema=echo3
If you get a chance, give that a try and see if that works for you.
Let me know.
Thanks,
-Lee
I have been getting Cnet Deals emails for a long time. About February 19, 2016, Cnet changed the coding, and instead of getting readable emails I get garbled batches of coding, with no images.
If I try to open a browser link, I get the message that windows cannot find the email location with that link.
Cnet "How To" and "mobile" emails come through with no gobbledy ****...just nothing but the header. Cnet Insider comes through with the gobbledy ****. And so forth.
Is there a way to get these emails in a different format? [Don't tell me my email client is out of date; I know that, but I like its functionality better than anything else out there.]
