Dear editor: I can't be the only one, but man am I tired of hitting the 'view entire message' button in your newsletter. Is that really necessary?"

Hey CSD,

I can't be the only one, but man am I tired of hitting the  "View Entire message" button.  Is that really necessary? 

There are days when I am just sick of it and won't read the rest of the edition...too bad.  What's the future hold for this inconvenience?

Thank you,

Scott Irwin

Dear Scott

Unfortunately, it is beyond our control.

It seems to be mostly a Gmail phenomenon. They do it when they deem the newsletter is too large.

Other email providers may do it too. But we've always seen it with Gmail subscribers.

Most of us use Outlook at Cowboy State Daily so we don't see it. Although those of us with additional Gmail accounts experience it.

We know that it doesn't happen on Yahoo either.

If we could change it, we would. But we don't have any control over the email providers.

Thanks for reading Cowboy State Daily!

Jimmy
