You did a bad job here: black lettering on a dark blue background.

Apparently you don't have graphical designers in your team. Or everyone in
your team is aged below 30.

My MUA rendered it with white letters too. Maybe something ambiguous or wrong
in the CSS?


What I find wrong is this sentence: “The Catalog Admins have identified that
the following items have changed in item type or category.”
What?  The items have changed on their own? and the admins only observed/noticed
the changes?

The lettering that is rendered as black on the OP's email and white on mine
and others' is in a table cell - looks like it's supposed to inherit
from a div surrounding the table, and isn't in some cases. But surely that's
the fault of Mailchimp's email editor?

  Whomever created it, did a fine job

Maybe, but that person did it BEFORE the item was actually moved

That is incompetent at best

And I assume that your age must be under 20, since you're so immature as
to insult the newsletter team without checking to see if others' emails look
the same as yours. (Hint: they don't.)

That user is reporting that it looks bad on his side

You know ... the customer side

Rather important when sending out a newsletter. It's entirely up to the newsletter
team to make sure their announcemnts work in all common browsers and (I)OS

So I must assume you're way over 60 since you cannot understand that

Yikes people! Are we really all hurling around insults because some font rendered
in different colors in a newsletter? Did that newsletter affect anyone's
ability to use the site today?

I have got to be in the top 10 of complainers around here so normally I understand,
but geesh! Give it a rest.

Thanks,
Jen
