Can you please provide us with a screenshot of the before & after please?

This happened to me a few times, i think it was due to me not filling in the sender name, the error seemed to occur after redoing the sender name and sending, if i hadnt been prompted to fill it in it was not a problem.

This seems a silly question and I 100% agree that it is a silly question, but Im going to ask it anyways. lol.

When sending the newsletter, are you using rich text with the green OR red X before HTML letters?

Hi darren,

When trying to solve a problem no question is silly as the solution is normally something simple.

To answer your question it was on the default setting Smile

The red Icon Smile

Which makes me ask whats the difference please Question

When you hit the green button, you activate the html. i.e. whatever code is present in the box will be converted to how it will actually look.

When you hit the red button, you convert the visible things into a code format.
