Terrible time with email corruption
Hi All,
I've had a lot trouble with email. On closer inspection one test email showed a character error in address: E.g. should be viu.ca Where do I start? Server? |
Terrible time with email corruption
Hi All,
I've had a lot trouble with email. On closer inspection one test email showed a character error in address: E.g. should be @viu.ca Where do I start? Server? I found the source of the corruption. It came during cut and paste from a webpage. Maybe that implicates mouse drivers locally? Comments? |

I found the source of the corruption. It came during cut and paste from a webpage. Maybe that implicates mouse drivers locally? Comments? I would start by doing (in Web browser) Save As (Web Page Complete) This places an HTM file and a folder, in the downloads folder (assuming the download finishes). Some web sites are designed on purpose, to thwart attempts to "save as" like this. Now, look at the HTM file with whatever text editor works best for you, and see if you can spot an issue there. If necessary, you can switch over to HxD on the HTM file, as a double check of what kind of garbage is in the file. https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ You may be asking the mouse to copy something which is completely inappropriate for the situation. And the address may need to be cleaned up manually, to suit. You won't know why this happened, until you've examined the file for silly stuff. There was one NIC, which had a corrupted word every N bytes, caused by a hardware bug. As far as I know, anyone using that NVidia crap NIC, would have switched to a separate card, long ago. I never did hear whether NVidia figured out a way to patch that problem. Most NICs are pretty good with your data, and they use CRC32 to request retransmission, which improves the error floor a bit.
