Re: Some messages not displaying fully


 

A few possibilities:

There were known issues between Yahoo Neo and (at least some) HTML emails where the message bodies were not visible in the web interface. (Unless you used the view message source option). I have seen it in cases where the sending email client only added basic mail formatting tags.

There were additional issues over the last few days the Yahoo Neo web interface was up, where sometimes messages would load fully and sometimes they would be blank, as the server was throwing intermittent errors.

Depending on how PGO was extracting messages from Yahoo (if it was taking the HTML version), and depending on what errors Yahoo was throwing when PGO was running, I would expect some of the symptoms you are seeing.

Recommendation: use the Yahoo Get My Data (GMD) request process. It will give you the message archive in MBOX format. This should also avoid the scenarios I listed above, and it will give you files you can view in Mozilla Thunderbird or Sylpheed or other email programs that support importing from MBOX. I have also read that has (or is working on) a GMD import option for premium groups.

Note: there is also the possibility that something isn't working right with itself, but I expect the other scenarios to be more likely.

Help! (please)

I am transferring a Yahoo Group¡¯s messages over to ?by the rough and ready expedient of posting PGO Digests one at a time as new Messages.?

Each Digest contains 50 Yahoo messages in HTML, and their sizes range from 200kb to 800kb, viz long, but uncomplicated and not ever so big.

The majority of messages display just fine, but about a third only display the top part of the content; occasionally only one or two of the 50 Yahoo messages.

At first I imagined the message must be arriving incomplete, yet when I go into Edit Message, there it all is, right down to the last full-stop.
But on closing the Editor, the display remains as broken as ever.

Any suggestions, please?
I¡¯d like to get the Archive loaded before letting the Users back in, and they are hammering on the gates (we deal in Serious Illness).

Thanks, David 1/2d
