Sometimes ... there are blows in the waterdays when we are badly awake ... and nothing to do to fix it. This is the case of this week's Badsender, which is the work of Ciné-Télé-Revue.

Summary of story:

  1. First sending of the email, with moldy links ... impossible to click in the email.
  2. Second email sent a few minutes later, with correct links ... but a beautiful "(Links OK)" in the subject line ... without any word of apology.
  3. In both versions (as in the first), in Gmail ... images are not displayedIf you want to use a tool like Litmus, there are spaces in the name of the images, it would not be a luxury.
  4. And as there is no only images in the email ... nothing is displayed (in Gmail) !
  5. Even more annoying, no unsubscribe link, no text version, no link to a web version,

This is all the more unfortunate becauseas a rulethe emails sent by Ciné-Télé-Revue are pretty well done. We'll put this on the holiday season 😉
