The "Click here" point me to: http://newsletters.ncsoft.com/emp/co...-02-15/na.html
can you load that?

Is your email client set up to handle HTML mail or are you displaying everything as text?
How you set that will depend on which email client you are using.
That shouldn't prevent it displaying in a browser though.

and lots more on Pinnacle,Union and Defiant
Well, I know for this one at least, there are two VERY odd URL's for the two images at the bottom of the newsletter, the Inspirations and Paragon Points ones.
For example...
Code:
Which should really be http://newsletters.ncsoft.com.vsingh.webdev03.austin.ncwest.ncsoft.corp/global/emp/coh/includes/images/2012-02-14/art_01.jpg
and
Code:
http://newsletters.ncsoft.com.vsingh.webdev03.austin.ncwest.ncsoft.corp/global/emp/coh/includes/images/2012-02-14/art_02.jpg
I'm assuming the URL's didn't get fixed properly when going from internal testing to public posting, but .vsingh.webdev03.austin.ncwest.ncsoft.corp is a pretty hefty string to leave in the middle of a URL...
Warning:
The above post may contain Cynicism, sarcasm and/or pessimism. If you object to the quantities contained, then tough.

I see them every now and then, but I find that some will land their way into the spam folder on AOL.|

Edit: I just noticed the Op's local, since there are other 'odd' things that happen (games cost $$$ more there), perhaps the email server strips out certain bits of html during transmission that have been flagged and the result is a borked file in the end?
Well, I'm in the U.S. and I check my spam folder before deleting. I simply don't receive them.

This happens to me also. I get the newsletters regularly, but the images never display, and the 'go here to read this as a webpage' link is also utterly useless.|

I also can't view the following link:
http://newsletters.ncsoft.com/emp/co...-02-15/na.html, either on my home connection, or at work. (No browsing issues at work, either.)
I wonder if this is a 'Not in the USA' issue, given I am in Western Australia.
It's definitely not a mail client issue, 'cause I receive the newsletters at my Gmail account, which has no problems with other HTML email. I've also forwarded a few of the non-displaying emails to other of my accounts, including my work email, using Office Professional 2010. None of these accounts have any issues displaying html emails or images, except these ones from NCsoft.
Looking back over the newsletters I've received, I can see that the first one to fail to load images is:
"Unlock new endgame content in Issue 20:Incarnates" received on 2011-04-06
The last newsletter to display images is:
"Hot City of Heroes Issue 20 revelations from PAX East", received on 2011-03-17
I suspect this is not-coincidentally linked to the radical change in newsletter format/layout that happened at the same time.

hm... I can view that link fine.|

My gripe is that I simply don't receive the darn newsletters.

Okay, so I keep getting these nifty emails pointing me at http://newsletters.ncsoft.com/ but I can't load images in the email, nor can I view the site in Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Is there some special incantation I need to apply to my computer for it to work? Does the server just not like me?
