If you receive the Daily Bankruptcy News by email and the copy you receive is not formatted like a 3-column newspaper, or does not seem to contain links to the news stories, you may have an email client that is not capable of receiving HTML email, or is not configured to display such email.  You can however, receive a daily email notifying you when the Daily Bankruptcy News is updated on the web site.
