IE Renderer error: "The Website declined to show this webpage" error

I'm okay, Michael and Thomas. I only have that one that's affected and I'll just view in trash in Gmail or view in browser in the meantime. It's not a big deal.

Thanks for the replies.

Hello all,

In the last week my emails from Groupon (html formatted) have started to not be able to be viewed in Pmail.
I am able to right click and view in IE9 in browser, or in FF browser, with no problems. Disabling IERenderer shows the mail contents just fine.

format in raw view shows:
--QW5LWTyQkSvI=_?:
Content-Type: text/plain;
    charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The preview window shows this message :

The website declined to show this webpage

HTTP

403


Most likely causes:

  • This website requires you to log in.

What you can try:

<noscript id="goBack">Go back to <p>the previous page.</p></noscript>

More information <noscript><id><p>id=moreInformation&gt;More information</p></id></noscript>


This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet

Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to

view the webpage.

For more information about HTTP errors, see

Help.

Is there any way around this?

Cheers.

I really wonder why currently more and more newsletters or the like start to abuse (I)Frames in email messages: IMO they are not supposed to be there since they open up lots of opportunities for malicious attacks like cross-site scripting and clickjacking: The least thing they do is download external data into an email message which IERenderer will never support.

I admit that the current solution isn't the best (I'm already working on it since I finally figured out another workaround) but it was forced on me by another bug

(IMO)

in IE's rendering machine (not only in IE 9 but also in previous versions) which bypassed all my content control routines if using IFrames. With the current public version you may only enable Allow frames in IERenderer's configuration which will at least prompt you for opening such messages in a browser if encoutering (I)Frames trying to import remote data. Embedded (I)Frames would be displayed like embedded graphics, but you'd

rather

rarely see such messages.

The IERenderer does not do iFrames due to a bug in the IE renderer from MSoft.   This is currently being worked and the next released version will have something to allow you to read the messages by turning off the frames.

Thanks Thomas,

Strangely enough I used to read them just fine, even as short a time ago as a couple of weeks, or less.

What changed in the meantime? Would the old IERenderer work better?

Will wait for fix.

Cheers!

Obviously they added something not supported by the MS Renderer.

Turn off the IERenderer and use BearHTML until Michael gets this one out on the street.  BTW, I thought I was the only one having this sort of a problem.  Also, if you really really need to use IERenderer instead of BearHTML then drop me a line at the e-mail address below.

I hadn't really finished working on frames since I didn't really expect to see them very frequently in emails, see my previous (now "approved") post.
