Sudden issues w "Send complex html"

J

Jonny

Entourage 11.1.0 (040913), OS 10.3.9

I've been using "Send complex html" for sending out a html newsletter
for over a year. I send every mail to one of my own accounts to
"confirm" each time. No problems at all.

Two days ago, I didn't receive the mail. And after checking every
possible way, it seems as if the script causes mails to be sent or not
sent randomly - or if this depends on the html file:

E.g. I have a file name "A" which sends perfectly. When I change the
code in the body of the html file (which validates, etc) adding or
deleting just a tiny little tag or a text sentence and save it as "B",
the file sends but never ends up in the receiving account.

Every other file, message or whatever sends and is being received by the
very same two accounts.

This is one of the most bizarre problems I have encountered. What on
earth is going on?

TIA
Jonny

Additional info:

I have rebuild the MS database
I have fixed permissions
I have downloaded and installed latest version of the script (created 12
Feb 2005)

It's been working just fine for over a year and I have NOT done anything
to Entourage or computer the past days that could have changed this.

The issue remains:

When I send from mail account A to account B, I can send anything
without problems, even complex html mails I did a couple of days ago.
But when I change the tiniest thing in that html mail, the file sends
(says Entourage) but never arrives.

Weird....

Have you checked your Junk folder?

Does account B's ISP have a server-based spam quarantine service?

Certain email subjects trigger spam filters. Perhaps the subject "B" is one
of those.

Yes, that was my first thought.

Nope.

I doubt that's the case. All mails have been named (subject and file
name) the word "Newsletter" and the date, e.g. "Newsletter 7 August
2005". Since last summer, they've all arrived OK until last Friday. If I
send the archived mail I sent last Thursday, it arrives...

I think there's some voodoo going on....

Problem solved.
The reason was, of course, my own stupidity, and I won't bore you nor
embarrass myself with lengthy narration.
I'm an idiot...

Ha...

We've all been there, I'm sure. At least I have. At least you have the
nerve to let us know. ;-)

Once I thought my Notes were screwed up. I click to notes, and only 3
or 4 notes would be showing. All categories were highlighted. I
couldn't figure it out. Posted questions. Nothing seemed to work. Then
one day (many weeks later) I realized the scroll bar, and realized that
for some reason when I would switch to Notes, it would be at the bottom
of the list, with a bunch of blank space below them. Only the last 5 or
so messages would show up in the list.

I felt pretty stupid. That was probably more stupid than yours. Maybe I
shouldn't post this...

Please do post the solution -- I am experiencing the same problem and
need to know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks
