T'bird Sending Wierd E-mails

I was just speaking to a friend of mine whom I occasionally fwd e-mails that have already been fwd'ed a couple of times. He says that whenever he and another mutual friend gets those kind of e-mails from me that when they click on it it opens a whole bunch of different separate windows of the same thing. I asked him if he had any other friends that use the same ISP that I use and he said "Yes, but I don't get that error with them. "

Anyone ever heard of this problem, or better yet, how to fix it?

Never heard of the problem. What e-mail client are your friends using?
I sent you a Private Message with one of my e-mails. Forward me any one of those messages.

 

Hi gplea,

You're not alone. The best and easiest way is to *not* fwd a fwd. Copy the original message and paste it in a new Compose Message window and then send with as many cc's and Bcc's as your server will allow.

This is just a work-around. I'll leave the "How Do I Fix This?" to the experts.

Although I prefer to do what jpchris is doing, I did a test of forwarding a forward from one address of mine to another, I had no problem. I, always, enter a few words explanation of what I am doing. I never forward a message with no accompanying text.

 

I don't forward "FWs ", either. If something really is good enough to pass on to others, I select "Edit As New..." and remove all the garbage that most forwarders fail to remove. It means deleting all the addresses that the message was sent to, but I think it's worth the effort.

 

Add me to the group that do not forward forwards. I also open a Compose window and then use a little program called e-mail stripper to clean things up. I also take the time to remove addresses.

 

Hi (again),

And, don't you hate it when you get a fwd, fwd, fwd, fwd, and there's a myriad of ">>>>'s" and "<br>'s" and "nts&b . . .'s"

Sometimes it's like negotiating a maze just to read the e-mail.

Sheesh. Like JSS3rd said: " If something really is good enough to pass on to others, I select "Edit As New..." and remove all the garbage . . . "

THANK YOU! It's too bad the chronic fwd, fwd, fwd'ers won't be reading this.

Oh, well.

I have a great solution for the FWD and the like emails. I have a filter set to look for fwd or fw in the subject and they all go to the trash automatically.

I have a neighbor who loves to forward all the conspiracy, religious, cutesy, sky-is-falling **** mails to a network which he has decided I should be a party to. He started removing the fwd so now his email address is filtered.

Sorry--One of my pet peeves.

 

I just did some more work on this. The original test forward was from someone with the same domain as mine. I even triple forwarded one e-mail to accounts of the same domain, and they went through fine. Then I tried a simple forward to accounts of mine @excite.com, and @aim.com. I never got a thing. I, finally, went to the websites, and both domains had dumped the message where it belonged, i.e. in the spam folder. Both domains ignored me when I selected "this is not spam ". The moral of the story is pretty obvious. don't blame TB, and praise the spam controls!

 

Actually, the post to my @excite.com arrived, after well over an hour, and it looked normal.
Now, one thing which I did not do was to look with another mail client. I use only gecko mail clients, such as Thunderbird, Seamonkey, and Netscape7.2.
However, a friend of mine with the same domain, uses Outlook, and we have no problem.
