Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if the new HTML eNews does not display properly on my computer?
Some email programs have trouble reading HTML formatted emails. At the beginning of each LIV eNews, the message “View online version” will redirect you to an online version.
I can read the eNews but I cannot see the images, what should I do?
You will need to change the Security Settings in your email account. This process will vary depending on the email program you are using.
Outlook
Right-click one of the blocked images and select the 'Download images' option.
To ensure this doesn't happen next time you want to view your eNews:
- On the Tools menu
- Click Options
- Click the Security tab
- Under Download Pictures, click Change Automatic Download Settings
- Clear the Don't download pictures or other content automatically in HTML email check box
Gmail
Click on the 'Display images below' option at the top of your email.
Yahoo
Click on the 'Show HTML Graphics' at the bottom of your email.
Hotmail
Click on 'Show Content' at the top of the email. Alternatively, if you click on the 'Mark as safe' link in the 'From' line of the email header, all emails from that email address will be seen as 'safe' in the future. Note that if you don't click 'Show Content' or 'Mark as safe' you won't be able to click on any links either.
Groupwise
When you receive an HTML message from an external address, the images are blocked by default for security reasons. To display the images in the message, click the message that reads, “ GroupWise has prevented images on this page from displaying. Click here to display images.” To keep this from reoccurring:
- Click on Tools > Options
- Double-click Environment
- Click on the Default Actions tab
- Select if you want to Always show warning , Never show warning, or Check Frequent Contacts
- If you select Check Frequent Contacts, images display from senders in your Frequent Contacts address book, but warns you for all other email contacts
