Emails for updated pdfs are doing strange delays and unresponding calls / fetchs

[Anthony Adam]

Hi

I don't know if this is a general problem but...

I use Outlook 2010, and recently, when I open emails from Paizo, especially when a product pdf I have has been updated, it takes MINUTES to open the email, sometimes causing Outlook to crash and die.

This started happening to me around 2 months ago or so.

It keeps popping up dialogs about Contacting \\static3.paizo.com\image\product\catalog\.....

So it looks like the image server is not serving images in a timely manner to the email when it is opened.

The most recent email that suffers this issue on trying to open is one with subject

"Community Use Package: Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Character Sheets Updated"

If I leave it opening for about 5 minutes, I eventually get the text but no images at all.

Again, I am not sure if it is me or the server. My outlook uses the outlook connector for my hotmail account, which is fully up to date with all patches.

Just thought I would mention this in case other people are experiencing the same on some emails.

Thanks

Anthony

Same problem here
I use Outlook 2010 too. The program freezes for a few minutes when I try to open this emails.

Anybody seeing this who *isn't* using Outlook 2010?

Adam or Cyria, can you forward one of those emails to [e-mail] from your outlook client? I'd like to compare what you're seeing to what we're generating.

Thanks!
