India's National News Paper THE HINDU with HQ in Chennai / South India, has launched its e-paper a fortnight back. On loging-in, it enables readers to make forwards to friends(groups). But the e-link could NOT be opened in gmail a/c. I have sent a mail to the widely read daily with no reply from them.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
No improvement. The link is not getting invoked from mail-a/c.

Expected Results:  
On clicking the e-link, that new item / picture should get activated and be visible on the screen

Dear Hindu,

Thanks. But, I have to differ from you. Please try forwarding your e-clip to a mail-id in gmail domain. Then from your gmail id, try opening it, through Mozilla or IE. I tried opening through mozilla in chennai & my brother from PERTH in IE-i  believe. Neither the news item or the photos could be opened. I may still be wrong. Anyway pl. check, and advise.

thanks, please revert on your exploration.

regards,

I remain a devote reader of THE HINDU.

    Dear Reader,
     
    I have checked all the links in page 01 of Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi editions and found that they all appear properly when we click on each articles. The problem could be due to internet connection at that time. Please check your internet connection and see.

No explanation for why this is a TE bug, and it's too old to bother kicking it to Firefox for further triage, so INVALID.
