1. If you have similar problems with newsletters from other sources, please...

verify if...

• your Firewall or Antivirus software is blocking parts of the e-mail (e.g. pictures are not shown) and/or
• security related settings in your e-mail program or enterprise IT-infrastructure may be responsible for this problem.

In most of all e-mail programs you will find in a "settings" menu an option that sounds similar to "read or receive only text-based e-mails instead of HTML". As our newsletters contain both, HTML-based newsletters with pictures as well as simple Plain Text, in the same e-mail, try to change this option in your e-mail program.

2. If you did not solve the problem, please send the following required information to webmaster @ hbsgermany.de: 

• brief description of your problem
• do you have similar problems with newsletters from other sources? 
• your e-mail software (e.g. Outlook or Outlook Express)
• your operating system and version (e.g. Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP or Mac) 
• name and version of firewall and/or antivirus software (if you use any)
• is your computer part of an enterprise network? 

We will try to verify your problem or help you with further information.
