Beta testers wanted

[Steve]

OK, got a new one ready. If anyone who hasn't already shown interest and wants one, let me know, although we've got enough GMail webmail based users already.

Many of you will receive the HEXUS.newsletter that we've been running for the past year or so now. I've had a chance to work on updating it recently, and it's time to see what people think of it.

This test is both of the functionality and of the feeling... does it render properly in your mail client, and does it work as a newsletter?

So, anybody who is interested in taking a look and might have some feedback to give, drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you a copy of the beta e-mail.

Even if you don't want to bother with the test (and why the hell not???) you might have some things you'd like to see in a HEXUS.newsletter, in which case, post them in here!

As for those of you not receiving it yet and wondering how to subscribe; I'll probably work on the subscription pages next, so hang fire on asking about that.

So, come on then, who wants in?

Had quite a few PMs, to which I've replied now, and sent test e-mails.

People are welcome to post their thoughts here or send them via PM.

Anyone else want in?

ygpm, I don't think Gmail likes the newsletter much...

Indeed it doesn't, primarily down to it being webmail based I think.

The code is quite modern (CSS/XHTML) but means it probably doesn't work well when embedded into some web pages, like in webmail. I can probably get around it, but not without taking a step backwards in terms of the code.

Interesting stuff.

I'll have to try setting up my gmail in outlook 2003, see how it fares...

whack my works email down for a test as well

If you need it - let me know and I'll PM it you.

Sent a few more out; made a few changes in-between to the code, although I've since reverted them back because as far as I can see, they made no difference. Anyway, shouldn't make any difference which version you got.

Testing closed for now... see top of thread.
