Newsletter problem

Hello All,
I am able to send an HTML Formated Newsletter(containing hyperlinks) through JavaMail
API.But the problem is that when the recepient clicks on any of the links, it opens a
new browser window but does not display the proper page...
The code being used is as follow...
     //code...
     URL url = new URL(newsletterName);
     Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
     msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(eMess.getEmailSender()));
     String to = "";
     msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to, false));
     msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,
InternetAddress.parse(eMess.getEmailReceiver(), false));
     msg.setSubject(eMess.getSubject());
     MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
     messageBodyPart.setText("");
     MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("related");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
          messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
          DataSource fds = new URLDataSource(url);
          messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
          multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
          msg.setContent(multipart);
          Transport.send(msg);
     Please help me out with the problem.Thanks a million in advance...

I haven't tried the code, but I found this sample that is supposed to send both text and html in the same mail message:
http://builder.com.com/utils/sidebar.jhtml?id=u00220020305gcn01.htm&index=2
I notice you don't set the content type to "text/html" anywhere. Hope its of some help.

    The current (12/21/2006) iTunes Classical music newsletter shows the King's Singers Christmas as a Free Download. However, when I click on the link, iTunes does not show anything from this recording as a free download. Not the album. Not even a single track.

    Hai Apple
    I have a problem with iweb in publishing HTML news letter

    please help.thank u

    I guess you are using the method shown at the bottom of this page...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
    Note the warning.
    You really need to use a tried and tested template for this type of thing or an application like SerialMailer or MailShoot.
    The alternative is to send out a text email and link to a webpage...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWebMusicWebsite/Monthly-News.html
    ... or use one of these methods to show the news letter in an iFrame so that you only have to update the frame content and not the whole page...

  • Problems with creating Newsletter in Dreamweaver

    Hey everyone, I'm having few problems in creating my newsletter in Dreamweaver.  I hope someone can help me!
    1. My html layout is different when I preview in different browsers. I know it is quite common to happen, but I dont know how to fix mine. It works fine in Safari and Chrome but the images and text are incorrect in Explorer and Firefox for example. How can I fix that? Here is the link so you all can look at it: http://www.ntgblog.com/Images/newsletter3.html
    2. Another little thing I notice was Dreamweaver gives me a msg when I asked to check compatibility and I can see that the text "NTG monthly newsletter.." is not align in the bottom, why? How do I fix it?:
    Support for the top, text-top, middle, bottom, and text-bottom values of the CSS property vertical-align is incomplete; these values may not produce the intended effect.
    Affects: Internet Explorer for Macintosh 5.2
    I think that's it for now. I really need to show it to my client tomorrow, so hopefully someone can help!
    Thanks you very much!
    Karen

    First, don't test IE for Mac.  It hasn't been supported in years and hasn't worked since Tiger I think or maybe Leopard.  Also if you plan on emailing, get it into an ESP or something so you can send to the client to show them how it will look in different email clients.  For instance, since your a:hover is in the head of your code, GMail will ignore it.

  • Problem with saving InDesign newsletter to a print ready PDF in CS6

    I am using a PC and created a 4 page newsletter in InDesign, CS6.  I have made this newsletter over and over in previous version of CS products and never had a problem.  But with CS6, I cannot get it to save as a print-ready PDF with the bleeds and markups the printer needs. 
    I have the Document Setup set to a bleed of 0.25 all around.  I have tried Printing to PDF, Exporting, and Print Booklet.  Printing to PDF doesn't show the bleeds and markups.  Exporting doesn't show the bleeds and markups.  Print Booklet only shows the bleeds and markups if I shrink the file down with a Scale to Fit...which won't work for the printer.  I have tried everything thing I can think of, tried changing all kinds of printer settings...I seriously have no idea why this isn't working.
    Any suggestions?

    Well, the obvious thing is to make sure you've got "Use Document Bleed Settings" checked in the export dialog AND that you've got trim marks turned on. YOu should save a custom preset to do this along with the other settings your printer requires.

  • Ongoing problem with newsletter-eMail-actions: CF is hanging

    Hi forum-members, we have an ongoing problem with
    newsletter-eMail-actions.
    We use CFMX 7.02 Entperprise on Win 2003 Server. (between

    In the highest hours we have between 80 and 200 current
    users/connections
    per second. We are running two HP 380, 3 GB, CF-Servers in a
    static loadsharing.
    From time to time CF gets unresponsive and I don't know why.
    We use fusion reactor and there are no long running requests
    from

    The newsletter works fine except if we add a button and/or link to the top zone on that newsletter it blows up ONLY ON iPhones!
    This happened last month too. It seems to be related to length of the newsletter too. It works on every device except iPhones - so weird.

  • Sending a Newsletter to 15,000 people - Problem: it stops before the end!

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to send a Newsletter to 15,000 people. I already have a solution using JavaMail and Servlets/Beans/JSP but it's ending before the end of the process... Here is a summary of the Servlet performing the sending:
    // imports, etc.
    private static final String recoveryAddressString = "[email protected]";
    public void performTask(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
         java.sql.Connection connection = null;
         DatabaseConnection connBean = null;
    try {
    connection = ConnPool.getConnection();
    connBean = new DatabaseConnection(connection);
    connBean.setAutoCommit(false);
              java.util.Properties properties = System.getProperties();
    properties.put("mail.smtp.host", Const.SMTP_SERVER);
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, null);
    // Calling several beans for making the Newsletter (date, articles, images, etc. = ...a lot)
         // Calling the bean "envoinewsletterdbbean" for getting the list of the 15.000 InternetAddresses, THEN:
    for(int i = 0; ; ){
    try {          
         String emailEnvoyeur = "[email protected]";
         String emailDestinataire = envoinewsletterdbbean.getEmail(i);                     
    MimeMessage mimemessage = new MimeMessage(session);
    // From:
         InternetAddress inetAddrEmailEnvoyeur;
    try {
         inetAddrEmailEnvoyeur = new InternetAddress(emailEnvoyeur);
    } catch (AddressException ae) {
    // recovery address
    System.out.println("***erreur email de l'envoyeur");
    inetAddrEmailEnvoyeur = new InternetAddress(recoveryAddressString);
    mimemessage.setFrom(inetAddrEmailEnvoyeur);
    // To :                         
         InternetAddress inetAddrEmailDestinataire;
    try {
         inetAddrEmailDestinataire = new InternetAddress(emailDestinataire);
    } catch (AddressException ae) {
    // recovery address
    System.out.println("***Erreur adresse email du destinataire");
    inetAddrEmailDestinataire = new InternetAddress(recoveryAddressString);
    mimemessage.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, inetAddrEmailDestinataire);
    mimemessage.setSubject(titreNewsletter);
    String bodyText = "<html>";
    bodyText = bodyText + "<head>";
    //(... very long)
    //(getting the text of the articles, images from the beans...)
    mimemessage.setContent(bodyText, "text/html");
    try {
         javax.mail.Transport.send(mimemessage);
    } catch (Exception exception) {
         exception.printStackTrace();
         LogServiceTool.log("Exception lev\351e : " + exception, 1, getClass().toString());
         handleError(request, response, Const.pathWas_FO + Const.FO_error_page, exception);
    i++ ;
    } // exception at the end of theInternetAddress list...
    catch (java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException _e0) {
    System.out.println("***fin de la liste des expediteurs... sortie de la boucle");
    break;
    } //etc. END
    MY PROBLEM IS: After something like 200 mails sent, I'm kinda logged out: "Response: no-url" in my JSP, because the operation is too long with my loop on the InternetAddresses, so far.
    Is there a solution, like an independent "batch process" to perform the sending outside the session? Or is there a means using folders or different connections... ?
    Thanks for your help...
    Denis

    One simple solution is to have the servlet start a new thread and allow the original one to respond to the client.
    A better way of doing this is to have a stand alone application send the messages out. You can have it run manually or on a scheduler.
    Don't use a jsp page as the trigger, and don't run the logic in the webserver, they were not designed to do these things in the way you want.

  • Problem with iTunes and iTunes Newsletter

    The current (12/21/2006) iTunes Classical music newsletter shows the King's Singers Christmas as a Free Download. However, when I click on the link, iTunes does not show anything from this recording as a free download. Not the album. Not even a single track.
    What's going on here?

    Stille Nacht is the free download from the King's Singers Christmas album. Click on the Music link on the main ITMS page, then look down the left side to the bottom for the Free Downloads section. You'll see the link to the free track from the King's Singers there (and of course make sure you're browsing the US iTMS). Or find the album and just look for that track.
    Regards.

  • Does anyone get daily newsletter from Living Rich With Coupons and found a problem reading them since last 2 updates?

    Problem with daily emails from Living Rich with Coupons

    IT is an IPAD  gmail issue not a LRWC problem. My IPAD AIR that I did not update works fine. It is only my IPAD AIR that I updated.this is the strange problem...This site sends me very long daily emails. In the body of the email on the top when you would click on an item a line would come up on top where you could then go and read whole entry. After the update this does not show up on top. You have to scan down the entire email. I understand that if you do not get this daily email you have no idea what I am talking about. It is just driving me crazy and was hoping someone could help.

  • Having problems emailing a newsletter, can someone take a peek?

    I am trying to email a newsletter to my clients. Before mac I used Office Publisher and was able to create a newsletter with hyperlinks in it and when my clients opened the email, it was there (not as an attachment) I created a newsletter, converted it to a PDF and I attach it to an email and the links do not work AND it has to be opened from an attachment in PC mode. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what I should do?
    Thanks for reading

    I would give NeoOffice a try. One of the programs is called Writer, and has pretty good features. This is free software (Donation based).
    If you feel adventurous, you can also try a program called CrossOver, which allows you to run Windows software on your Mac. It may work just fine with Publisher, and you would be back in business. The software charges a license fee, but is available as a trial for 30 days so you can see how it works.
    I use it with Office 2000 all the time, and all the older stuff seems to be supported.
    Best of luck.

  • Newsletter Issue - 11x17 2 page layout problem

    I am doing a 9 page layout. I want it to print on 11x17 (tabloid) paper to reduce the costs. So that's 2 11x17 double-sided and 1-LETTER size double sided pull out.
    The 9th page is a application & evaluation (pull-out).
    I am having trouble finding the 11x17 size on the page set-up. Than once I get it all ready, I send it as a pdf to a copy center via email. So I need your help!

    Hi!
    You can use a custom page size.
    You have to set it up in the page-format-dialogue in the inspector/document.
    Choose format and the then go to paper-format. Choose "custom" at the bottom of the list. You get a dialogue where you can define your own page-format. Click on the "+" set the page-size you want and define your borders. give it a name by doubleclicking the "unnamed" list-entry. Click okay.
    Your custom format now shows up on the lower part of the list.
    (The names can differ for i use a non-english system)
    If the custom borders accord to the minimal technical borders of your printer you can insert paper of the specified size and print.
    I used this for booklet 21*21 cm and it worked.
    If you want printing a booklet that prints i.e. format A5 on a A4-sheet (page 1 right on the back, 2&3 on the front-side and page 4 on the left back) you need other software. I call to remember the name was "cocoa-booklet" (it has been mentioned several times in this forum).
    If you want to printed it professional, simply print it as a .pdf and send it to the print-shop. They usually do the rest. But in this case you should be a bit familiar with cmyk-colouring and how to do this in pages (there are several threads here). If not, the colour of your prints you get can differ from the colours you have on screen (more then nessesary).

  • I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

    I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
    I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
    I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
    What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Having some problems with links

    OK, I've used this way of doing this for a while, but recently I started having trouble with getting this to work.
    I have a site with a link to the organization's current newsletter.  I have a "previous page" link so that you can go back to the page you came from in the main site.  The newsletter opens up in it's own blank page.  This link no longer works and I have no idea why.
    This is the code that is supposed to make this link work:  <a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Previous Page</a>
    The second part of the problem involves the left sidebar links which are named achor links for within the newsletter page.  In the newsletter there are usually Program Recap articles which usually include a link to a separate page of event photos.  The page has the same sidebar links to the named anchors.  I used to be able to have these go back to the newsletter page to that named anchor.  But now I can't seem to make them work.
    What I've done in the past is to link back to the newsletter and at the end of this link to the page add the named anchor link like this:
    1112Visions_Iss1.html/#prezmessage
    Sometimes this works and sometimes not.  The problems don't end there.  Some of these links render the newsletter page with the photos some of the links go to a page that doesn't show the links.  At this point I have re-done all of the links, I have rebooted both Dreamweaver and Firefox and it just keeps doing the same thing.  I'm just baffled by this.
    I'll post the code for both pages in the hopes that someone can tell me what is not right and how to make this work.
    Here is the code for the newsletter's main page:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

        <h2> <a name="prezmessage" id="prezmessage"></a>President&#8217;s Message</h2>
        <p><strong><img src="../images/Susan-Flaherty-photo.jpg" alt="Susan Flaherty" width="145" height="159" class="fltlft" />Dear Fellow HFMA Members,</strong></p>
        <p>Welcome to the 2011-2012 HFMA fiscal year. Thank you for your continued membership and support of HFMA.  I look forward to working with the members, the board of directors, and officers during the upcoming year to continue the success of the Northeast Ohio Chapter.  </p>
        <p>Speaking of success – I attended the HFMA Annual National Institute in June 2011 and was proud to be from the Northeast Ohio Chapter. Our Chapter won three awards – Gold Award for Membership Growth and Retention, Hottum Award for Education Performance Improvement, and a Yerger Special <img src="../images/Manfull_ANI_DSC_0027.jpg" width="200" height="200" align="top" class="fltrt" />Recognition Award for the February 2011 Patient Financial Services Program.  In addition, the Northeast Ohio Chapter had two of the three winners of the National HFMA Future Financial Leaders Award. The award recognizes those future leaders who provide innovative and exemplary performance resulting in organizational performance improvement. Congratulations to Jill Barber and Kelly Linson from Southwest Community Health System for receiving this award. Finally, as many of you know, National HFMA has performance targets relating to education, membership, certification, financial strength, and other matters for all chapters. Our Chapter achieved 100% during this last fiscal year in meeting these targets. While it is important to celebrate our past successes, I and the other chapter leaders realize that we are taking on a big responsibility to maintain this level of excellence. We will need the continued support and participation of the membership to ensure we continue to achieve this level of success.</p>
        <p>As part of planning for the upcoming year, the Chapter officers had the opportunity to meet the National HFMA Chair, Gregory M. Adams, FHFMA. His theme for the fiscal year is “Believe to Achieve.” Following is an excerpt of his comments and explanation of the theme. In health care today, it sometimes seems like we are being asked to do the impossible. The industry is preparing for an influx of millions of newly insured patients in a reform environment where payments are shrinking and expectations around quality are growing. &quot;Believe to Achieve&quot; encompasses the keys to success in this new environment. It reflects the need to believe in your organization's mission and in others who share your dedication to achieving that mission. It means believing in yourself and in your ability to step out of your comfort zone into the new roles and responsibilities required to succeed in the reform era. Last but not least, it means believing in the possibility of a better future. In health care, there have always been naysayers who believe that the problems of the day are just too difficult to overcome. Their voices have been particularly loud, of late. But you can choose to believe that a better future is within reach, and to dedicate your professional life to making that happen. You can only achieve what you believe. </p>
        <p>Finally, I want to thank all of you who volunteered your time to Chapter activities over the past year. The fact that you chose to devote part of your time to HFMA indicates the value you perceive in your membership. The strength of any chapter lies in its volunteers. I hope you are able to attend the annual volunteer appreciation outing on August 31, 2011 to celebrate the successes of our Chapter, hear presentations on relevant industry topics, and enjoy a networking round of golf or visit to the spa. We are always looking for members to get involved and continue the long tradition of volunteer service that has been a hallmark of our Chapter for many years. Please don't hesitate to contact me, one of the other Chapter officers or directors, or a committee chair if you are interested in volunteering. </p>
    I look forward to a great year and hope to see you at an upcoming HFMA event.
    <p>Sincerely,</p>
    <p>Susan Flaherty<br />
      President<br />
      Northeast Ohio Chapter of HFMA    </p>

        <h2><strong><a name="certification" id="certification"></a>CHFP Assistance Program</strong></h2>
    <p>The North East Ohio Chapter (NEOC) of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) continues to encourage members to pursue and achieve certification as a Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP).  </p>
    <p>Many members who successfully pass the exam are eligible for reimbursement from their employers for some portion of the examination fee and/or on-line study material fee. To encourage and assist those members for whom employer reimbursement is not available, the Chapter offers a limited financial award program through the Chair of the Certification Committee. <br />
      <br />
      <strong>Current CHFP Award Program</strong> <br />
      Effective June 1, 2011, the NEO HFMA Chapter Board has approved annual funding for a maximum of 5 awards of $200.00 each for successful completion of the CHFP exam.  NEO HFMA members who have successfully completed the CHFP exam on or after June 1, 2011 and who will NOT be reimbursed by their employer for any portion of either the examination fee and/or the online study material fee are eligible to apply.  Chapter awards will be issued to the first 5 approved applications.</p>
    <p><strong>Reimbursement Application Procedure </strong> <br />
      Upon successful completion of the CHFP exam, a member who will NOT be reimbursed by their employer for any portion of either the examination fee or the on-line study materials may complete and submit an NEO HFMA expense form in application for a financial award.<em>  </em>A copy of the exam result e-mail notification and a release authorizing HFMA National to confirm that the member has passed the exam is required. Application for the award must be made within 8 weeks of receiving exam results. The funds allocated to members will be reviewed annually and is subject to change at the discretion of the Chapter board. </p>

        <h3><strong>2011 GHALI</strong></h3>
        <p><span class="style24">by </span>Lisa Hilling    <span class="style24"><br />
          </span></p>
        <p>The 2011 GHALI was held at the Glenmoor Country Club in Canton, Ohio. This historic and tradition filled site, initally started as a seminary high school for boys preparing for the priesthood.  In addition, this classic gothic building was built during the years 1930-1931 with the first class starting in late October of 1931. The building contains approximately 167,000 square feet. The Wolstein family purchased the 381 acres of land and building in 1989 that many considered to be one of the most desirable tracts in Stark County.  After two years of renovation, the spa portion of the club opened in December of 1991. On July 1, 1992 Jack Nicklaus took part in the gala celebration which opened the golf course. The Grand Opening of the Clubhouse in September of 1992 followed.<br />
          <br />
          Our theme for this year’s event was “Entering the Era of Accountability”.  As a result, the conference included educational sessions led by healthcare industry leaders and a variety of pertinent topics. Highlights included a panel discussion, “How Organizations Develop Vendor Relationships” for which there was standing room only attendance as well as sessions led by prominent professors, politicians and other professionals. Attendees were given opportunities to research products and services present at the vendor booths during vendor fair times and throughout the 2 ½ days. In keeping with tradition, the networking opportunities were abundant, starting out with Wednesday’s always very popular casino night. Thursday’s networking events included your choice of an 18 hole golf scramble, a visit to “The Spa at Glenmoor” or a enjoyable wine tasting event followed by an evening banquet which enable our attendee to sample more of Glenmoor’s fine cuisine. We concluded that evenings events with music, Texas Hold-em and “minute to win-it” activities, as well as entertaining karaoke by our members. <br />
          <br />
        Special thanks to everyone who participated on the GHALI Planning Committee for a job well done. The planning for next year is already underway and we welcome your input. Please make sure to watch for details of next year’s conference so you won’t miss out on everything this event has to offer.</p>

    <h3><strong>Healthcare Hot Topics – Part 1</strong></h3>
    <p>by Brian Nestor</p>
    <p>The Healthcare Hot Topics seminar was held at the beautiful new state-of- the-art Ahuja Medical Center in Beachwood, Ohio on June 23, 2011. The Rosenberg Conference Suite was filled with more than 50 attendees, there to hear about hot topics in healthcare today. <br />
      <br />
    Ahuja President James Benedict welcomed the attendees and talked to the current &amp; future state of the Ahuja Medical Center. He was followed by Gigi Umbel who went over the layout of the hospital and spoke to the challenges as a Finance Director of a new hospital.</p>
    <p> The three healthcare topics covered at this program were:</p>
    <ul>
      <li><em>Challenges of Compliant Research Billing</em> by Katherine Hammerhofer of University Hospitals</li>
      <li><em>Community Benefit – 501r and Schedule H </em> by Keith Hearle of Verite Healthcare Consulting</li>
      <li><em>Auditing Healthcare Entities</em> by Julie Osredkar &amp;  Michelle Stuhler of KPMG</li>
    </ul>

        <p align="left"><strong>Could Automated Hand-Wash Checks Reduce Infections—and Costs?</strong><em>Note: This article originally appeared in HFMA’s Healthcare Cost Containment newsletter (<a href="

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?
