Default Daily newsletters
I've noticed that since the upgrade, the daily newsletters contain duplicates.

I subscribe to private, for sale general, for sale accessories and the group buys forum on a daily basis.
After a few of these duplicates appeared, I checked the forum to see if posters were creating the same post multiple times, but it actually appears that there is some sort of cutover whereby posts end up in the daily newsletter for one day and the following day too.

It's a bit frustrating when you have something you're looking for, for example in for sale, only to open the mail and find it's the same item you looked at yesterday!

Let me know if you need examples of some extracts - would be happy to post them up here.

No problem, I'll try and do it tomorrow - I need access to my gmail account and it's blocked at work.
Do you want me to post it in here or do some sort of file attachment?

Ok, here's a brief example.
I've used a shorter newsletter.
The first is yesterday's PFS - car parts and accessories new items, and the second is today's. As you can see there are two duplicates in today's which were actually new yesterday and not today:

From investigating this it seems whats actually happened here is the topics have been spammed and the spam deleted. There is no real way to fix this as the database has flagged it as updated, which it is, you just cant see it.

Stu - when you say "spammed and deleted" - exactly what do you mean?
That the admin is manually deleting the entry? Because if they're doing that, why doesn't the code to generate the newsletter factor that in?

From what I'm seeing, this would indicate about 25% of daily posts are "spammed" - which seems a little unlikely wouldn't you agree?
I can't see why a post that was removed would show as "updated" - if that's the case I'd have thought it suggests more that there could be a flaw in the code design (I've written code to generate newsletters myself in the past as I'm a software dev!)
