I just got the latest CW email regarding the C5 Malvern sale and was more than surprised that my spam alert picked it up.
The problem is in the links, which redirect to http://christopherward.msgfocus.com/c/1 ... xk05EJKQx7
While this is highly likely to be fine, the mis-representation of a url in an email is somewhat suspicious. Aggressive anti-spam software might just dump chistopherward.co.uk to the spam filter.
I realise that msgfocus is being used to track link clicking for marketing purposes, but surely there's a cleaner way of supplying those links (i.e. using "Click here to see the offer" instead of "www.christopherward.co.uk/sale/etc" as the link text).
Sorry if this is a bit of a rant. It may not be important to most people.

Latest CW Email = Spam?
Usually the spam filter detects the displayed URL and the actual URL as being different (the marketing company) and tags it as suspicious.
This is a problem (!) for marketing companies to resolve using a subset of the actual domain.

Suggest open the Spam folder every day. Quite a few useful emails get diverted there.

Didn't get it - which may or may not be an improvement on getting them but not being able to read them.

Remember that every email blast that CWL sends out is not to everyone. They do many targeted mailings.

Mine came to my inbox and I'm stoked. I just need to figure out black or brown strap. I would have liked an auto bracelet, but can't complain for the price.
