Newsletter and apology

The third CJE-4D E-Shot Newsletter covering Raspberry Pi and RISC OS has now been sent a copy is at:
http://www.cjemicros.co.uk/micros/newsletters/newsletter3.shtml

It includes some details of what you will be able to see on our stand at Saturdays show.
It contains a few extra items to our recent newsgroup announcements:-)

I must apologise to non UK members of the distribution list who were sent two copies. We are very sorry about that. We realised our mistake just after all the duplicates had been sent:-(
We’ve put in place two measures to try and make sure we don’t make the same mistake again and we’re working on a third hopefully foolproof method as well.

Stop Press*** I’ve just had confirmation that the second prototype module we hoped to demonstrate is en-route from Sweden to the show. It is being brought in person so should get there!

Details of how to subscribe and unsubscribe are given at the bottom of the newsletter!

Meh. I didn’t get any. :-(

That said, if your newsletter is the content on the webpage – I get spammed way more than that by the regional newspaper keen to extol the virtues of their special digital “evening” edition.
And, trust me, if you have Facebook notifications on, you’ll be told every single time one of your “friends” (term used extremely loosely) has a thought (or, in some cases, doesn’t have a thought but likes somebody else’s thought).
Your newsletter, by comparison, is tiny. And – given you’re aiming it at RISC OS users – probably wasn’t written in bloated markup and packed out with images. As such, don’t sweat it. :-)

It’s clever stuff. Never seen such well targeted mailings. Shows as completely empty of content on my android phone. Must be showing normally on my Mac in case I use emulation or a nod to using Messenger Pro.

Sorry about that Frederick, thanks for the feedback. It uses plain text with a hand crafted HTML attachment. We will have to investigate before we send another one.
It’s not only targeted at RISC OS users but all our Raspberry Pi users. We’ve had no other reports but anyone else will probably have just ignored it or unsubscribed.
It displays fine in Outlook Express. We will need to test on more email clients in future.
