The temp at Alpe D'Huez on 17th Jan expected to be
-100 C. What happened to global warming? I think the HTML is screwed up and taken the degree sign for an extra zero? Same appears at Tignes which I am monitoring as I'm going there on the 9th Feb.and
-120 c does not appeal. However I'm pretty sure it's just a cool -12 c and I'll send in a review of the place when I get back.

Hi Alan,
Are you seeing this in your e-mail?
And are you reading it at work or otherwise behind a mail filter or firewall?
If so, you're one of a select few... 8)
It seems that certain firewall/spam filter suites like to take our lovingly crafted HTML and replace all the degree symbols with zeroes. :evil:
Temperatures look fine on our online Snow Forecast for Alpe d'Huez - which is built from the exact same HTML fragments as our forecast e-mails. If you do a View Source on that page you'll see the character code (176) for a degree symbol.
The degree symbol is in your e-mail when it leaves us, but gets mugged when it's on its way and minding its own business.
We get a handful of reports of this in a season - from over 10K mails sent each week. So a few of our subscribers get to see temperatures magnified by a factor of 10! Sorry.
Rest assured, -120C does seem unlikely...
although it would keep the snow in good nick.
p.s. "Bootofbeer"? Oh no... flashbacks to Pavel's "brand new" bootliner toast holders... :lol:

Thanks for the prompt reply.Yes I'm behind a netgear adsl and windows firewall so no doubt something is snareing your html.
