Seattle Genealogical Society Tip of the Week

TIP OF THE WEEK –
ARE YOU MISSING PART OF THE eNEWS! 

Attention GMAIL users. Have you noticed your eNews! seems to be cut-off abruptly? It will look as if there are paragraphs, feature articles, or photos missing. Well, GMAIL does what they call “trimming” of long emails (above a certain size in bytes, a unit of measure for digital information). This happened to the last issue of the eNews! and some readers were left a bit confused.

If you see  an ellipsis, three dots, hover over it with your cursor and you will see the message “See Trimmed Content”. Click on the ellipsis and the full eNews! will be revealed to you.

No matter what email service provider you use, a fool proof way to avoid “trimming” problems, omitted photos, and inadvertently missing large chunks of the eNews! , is to train yourself to always use the View it in your browser feature.  That is in the upper right hand corner of the eNews! directly after the question “Is this email not displaying correctly?”.

Try out the View it in your browser option on the last edition of the eNews! Use it on this current edition; then make a habit of using it. You’ll be glad you did.
