I have optimized an email for Outlook. A content with max-width gets hidden, while the another one (with a set width="" in <td>) shows up. That is working fine so far.
When this email gets forwarded in Outlook, Outlook seems to strip of or ignore the conditional comments, because in the forwarded version both contents are showing up (so that I get double pictures, which should definitely not be).
Has anyone had the same problem or knows what the issue is or why Outlook is ignoring the conditional comments? How can I fix this? Any ideas?

Is there a way, to manipulate what the user is seeing in the Outlook read window?
I have some corrupt EML files, that have to be shown in Outlook after downloading them. So what I need is some extension point to run some js code before the user sees the content.
I already have an addin deployed and I found this topic: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/autolaunch
Which looks kind of promising, except there is no event that is triggered when the email viewer is loaded. Does anyone know a way to intercept the viewer screen?
OfficeJS doesn't provide anything for that nowadays.
I use mailto to send mail using RTL language like Hebrew. I send plain text as recommended inside that content, I place one URL link, which turn out to be a hyperlink in outlook, but the link got broken.
What I found, there are some character like (Left-to-right_mark) got inserted inside that link though not visible.
I have checked the that when I send the text then there is no such character but it is appearing(though not visible) in the outlook. For this reason if you copy that link and paste it in address bar that also not work.
I've looked around online for this but can't seem to find an answer anywhere so hopefully someone can help.
I'm getting a "Windows Security" popup appearing on a site I've created (and so are others which is who I need to fix it for rather than myself) when trying to download a word document or excel file. PDFs seem fine.
An example page is http://www.christletonhigh.co.uk/school_information/uniform.php if you click to download the “Uniform Prices & Order Form” in the bottom right.
There’s no SSL on the site and the error only comes up on IE (I'm using IE9 on Windows 7 which I've seen others mentioning online as their setup with this happeneding) and doesn’t seem to effect all files so it’s a bit confusing. Clicking cancel on the popup causes the document to open anyway.
Anyone have any ideas please? The client tells me that the documents causing the problems have never been password protected.
For the reference, here's the detailed explanation why this happens: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019105
Solution mentioned by Anshuman should work: create script that adds "Content-Disposition" header with "attachment" value. For example: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myfile.doc". This will force all the content (including PDF, images, etc.) to be downloaded.
Security settings aside, other browsers seem to handle this more gracefully than IE9. Chrome, for example, seems to handle the download of the document with ease, and not result in a Windows Security dialog prompting for credentials to their network...
The users can disabled the 'protected view' settings from Word options | Trust Center, and the document will open with no dialog (probably not desirable to instruct them to do this)
I suppose this is the risk one takes when having users download content which require other applications to handle. a PDF would be better (hence the "P" for "Portable"), so if they can use PDF, that would be my first advice.
This issue comes when you give the direct URL path of the file and let the browser handle the file. To resolve this create a php script that explicitly downloads the file. Hope this helps :)
I'm wondering if there's any way to have Firefox 3 (or IE 7 or safari 3.1 or Opera) flag that a redirect has occurred (i.e. any deltas between the hyperlink or URL entered into address bar, and the page you land on), whether you've arrived from a hyperlink or entering URL into address bar.
I've googled some, looked at the linker addon, but the rightclick is an additional step I don't want to have to do.
Edit: If anybody can point me at the mozilla docs that show how to track clicked links and pages landed on in different tabs, i'll take a crack at writing a bookmarklet. TIA
I don't think this will help, since you don't want to do the right click for the linker add-on, but if I needed to do know if I was being redirected, I would use the LiveHTTPHeaders extension. It supports regular expressions, so you can only get headers that include 'Location'.
The reason I don't think it is what you are looking for is that you have to open it before the link, it won't "flag" a redirect and pop a message up or anything.
Not sure if that's exactly what you need, but the NoRedirect extension seems to be related to your problem. Quoting it's description:
NoRedirect lets the user take control of HTTP redirects. It can be used to interdict an ISP's DNS search redirection hijacks, preview/screen "shortened" URLs (e.g., TinyURL), stop the annoying redirection of "smart" error pages, etc.
If that's not what you wanted, looking into the extension's code might at least help you find some hooks for your proposed bookmarklet.
When I debug locally in fire fox 2.0x many times my page won't have the styles added properly or the page will not completely render (the end is seemingly cut off). Sometimes it takes multiple refreshes or shift-refreshes to fix this. Is this a common issue or is it just me? Any solutions?
I want to add that this is happening in fire fox 3.x to me as well. I add my javascript to the pages dynamically and this might be part of the issue. This is when I am working locally with Visual Studio.
Update: This does happen in IE but it happens much more often in Fire Fox. The issue seems to be only javascript and CSS files not loading. For example I get jQuery is not defined, $ is not defined etc. I don't think I have local IIS to test this on but from the server it always works perfectly. Fire Bug shows all my css and javascript files to be requested and received.
This could be a problem with IPv6 and DNS of the Firefox browser. This issue is known to slow down Firefox on localhost:SOMEPORT. The effect would be that some external files won't load (css, js etc.) resulting in a partially rendered page.
You can solve this issue by simply deactivating IPv6 in Firefox:
Insert about:config in the Firefox address bar
Set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true or alternatively add localhost to network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains
A different way to fix this issue, is to a remove the ipv6 address from your hosts file this way: open the file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
(with administrator privileges) and remove (or comment out #):
:: localhost
Make sure that you narrow the scope of the problem. Does the problem just happen when debugging from VS or does it also happen with local IIS? With server-based IIS? Does it happen to other developers in your company? Is it really just FireFox or does it happen to Chrome, Opera, IE, etc?
Assuming that you've already worked that all out, I would suggest installing a FireFox plug-in called "Tamper Data". Open that and refresh the page. You'll see a record of every connection from the browser to the server (for each html file, image, css file, etc). Look to see if any of the them are very slow or not completing (perhaps one of those files is taking a long time and FF is waiting for it to finish before loading other important files).
Assuming that all of the files correctly loads, you should consider checking that the syntax is valid (maybe there is some unclosed tag or quotation mark that is causing FF confusion). I use a plugin called "Web Developer", but there are a lot of other options out there.
You could also use a plugin called FireBug to view the HTML behind various parts of the page to see if there are any noticeable problems. You start FireBug, go to the HTML tab, click Inpsect, and move your mouse over something on the page, and it will show you the HTML behind it.
One thing to do would be to check the source of the page(s) in question. My guess would be that the local server that VS runs is not giving you the entire source of the page. One way to verify this would be to run exactly the same code in the debug environment, as well as from a "real" server like IIS 6. If the same behavior is seen on loading the page from both servers, as well as insuring that the full page source is being recieved by the browser(s), then it is a bug in Firefox and should be reported. This is especially true if other browsers, ie. IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera, render the page fully.
Are you comparing what you see in Firefox to what is displayed in the Visual Studio designer? If this is the case, then they are using 2 different methods to render the html and may not display the same.
Anything further on this folks?
I have examined the traffic using Firebug and it appears that when veiwing the response from the request for a style sheet, the response is just blank. After refreshing (sometimes multiple times) the age displays correctly and the response information contains the style sheet. I have not seen this in any other browser and it only occurs when viewing the app from Visual Studio.
2! Recently i had the same problem. Im using MVC 1.0 and I added a new stylesheet into Views/Share folder. And when i run the project, the page didnt render along with the css. If your web project is a MVC one so try put the css file into the Content folder.
Hope this help.
HaiVu.Doan.
In case anyone else finds this with newer versions of Visual Studio, I have to run VS as Administrator. This is something I keep forgetting to do, but once I right clicked on Run as Administrator when opening VS, the problem went away.
Initial problem, I could not get CSS to render when running a project from VS 2012 using Firefox as the browser. (IE worked just fine, btw.) The content would be there, but no CSS. This was the first post I found when I typed in my question.
