Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adobe-flashplugin

Back in June the owners of the FAIL blog had problems with using Youtube
videos so they switched their videos to Viddler (FAIL blog announcement
of switch is at http://failblog.org/2009/06/25/sidewalk-fail-3/). Ever
since then I've noticed that their daily emails with new posts don't
show up in my Gmail regardless of what browser I use (Epiphany
2.28.0-4ubuntu1, chromium browser
4.0.245.0~svn20091111r31665-0ubuntu1~ucd1 or Firefox 3.5.5+nobinonly-
0ubuntu0.9.10.1). The videos show up well enough when I surf the FAIL
blog site itself, and when I check the source code of the message I can
see that the embed shows up but it isn't showing up in the message
itself. The same behavior is present when checking email with Evolution
2.28.1-0ubuntu2 0. I can't check the behavior in Thunderbird or another
email client because Evo is the email client I have opted to use. To the
best I can determine other users of the site that run Windows or the
MacOS don't show this behavior, and I suspect users of other plugins
don't experience the issue either. It may be a Gmail issue but from what
I can determine it's an issue of the plugin, not the service since the
behavior also shows up in my email client (which I believe doesn't use
the plugin).

I'm enclosing screenshots of the message in Gmail, the video on the site
itself, as well as the source code for today's email message from the
FAIL blog. The video in question is the very first one, "That's what you
get for being a show off".

SYSTEM STATS:
Ubuntu Version: 9.10 (with updates as of yesterday afternoon)
Adobe-flashplugin version: 10.0.32.18-1karmic2

STEPS:
1. Open a web browser with the flash plugin installed
2. Go to the FAIL Blog website (http://failblog.org/) and sign up to receive 
daily emails of new posts
3. Read your email in Gmail. When a new video has been added to the FAIL blog 
the next day you will recieve a message showing the new video among the day's 
new posts.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
The video shows up in preview mode to give you the option of viewing the video.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
There is simply a space where the video should be.
