😀 😀 Welllllll…….It was offering discounts on rolls of vinyl.
Rolls of a different kind and lets just say it was a windows media file showing a rather larger roll coming out of an unzipped file and 2 ladys playing with the roll. Ok bit of fun but not when my mum is is minding the place and she checks the emails whilst i’m out. 😳 😳 😳 -
well if i read that correct, then someone is taking email and sending virus/porn via email.. ur computer or theirs.

Well it defo aint coming from mine!!

so it was discounted rolls in the hay.
some time ago aps did have a big problem with emails and me along with loads of others received about 200 es the same in one hit.
they blamed the new girl in the office 🙁 -
i dont mind trade emails. in fact i welcome them. but in moderation.
it may sound silly but i look forward to the sign mags landing on my desk, i do read them! regardless to which one it is…
same goes for emails… whether its a discounted product, new series of vinyl or genuine news. i still want to know…
not knocking the firm at all here but i think trade signs needs to cut the emails down a bit… 2-3 a week amongst most with 1 a month or bi-monthly and it starts to become a pain. surely you know the deals for the month, stick them all in one email and fire it out. but NOT one email per special offer.as for APS… i like them as a company seem to do some nice products and never too pushy. never got the email though. 😀

oh there is loads of supplier emails going out… loads.

one a day…guess what – they all get binned..
does anyone get calls from suppliers on a regular basis??
-
yeah, ones that wish to sell us vinyls or change brand of media.
-
I don’t get many emails from suppliers at all but that is probably because I have only recently started working again and I won’t be registered with a lot of the suppliers.
Haven’t had any emails from APS and from what Karl was saying I don’t want any either.

Got the mail Karl, but no zip file.
1 PNG & 1 WMZ file both of which were fine.
WMZ is just a compressed metafile. You can copy it and open word and paste the contents, ie APS list of over stocked items.
You sure what you had was a ZIP file?

I know what you say Rob. They are pretty good here though. usually only 1 a month.
I’ve tried to do my news letter monthly too, at regular time. I used to do them monthly, but at different times, so one may have been a few weeks apart, others a fair time apart.
Got a few complaints as a result, so now I send them out the first week of each month, and people seem happier. No complaints anyway.
I look at every email though, never know what is coming thru at a good price that may be worth a try.

does sound like something taking a copy of an old email from some sign makers computer karl then emailing it to u karl with a payload attached

Yes Tim it was defo a zip file. APS rang this morning and are trying to find out where it came from.
Pete….. 😀 😀 😀 😀 Mucky Pup!
