"watch out for line wraps"... almost a mantra on these fora;-) Is there a way, perhaps using "mark down", to get around that? Generally it seems most email client apps seem to mess up the writers intentions:-(( Perhaps there is a way if only in our fora (not necessarily the wider word of emailed communication) to move beyond that into at least a modicum of formatting, without the heaviness of proprietary "solutions".
Just putting the pre tag around an outgoing post can help tremendously. Yahoos! online rich text mailer is very good. Is there a way to get something like that working for incoming and outgoing mailings? On the outgoing end i would like control over a raw html'd post. On the incoming i would at least like to avoid the "line wraps" so frequently mentioned, and avoid the "alternative parts"! The deficit may be at the posting client agent end:-| Perhaps a custom posting client agent could me modeled in j7? If it can sit in the JUM, anyone with an account, anywhere can post markups (or downs). A reader client agent likely needs to sit on gigabytes of secure data and thus likely off the JUM. The poster only part, only needs the inbox, or about 5 lines of header info for each post - for correctly linked replies. Or a way to include appropriate headers. Perhaps bridge apps between receiver and poster agents. Is there an existing a solution that suffices? i (and others?) have been frustrated for decades by this state of affairs. The whole may be a snarled mess, but at least, with conventions or more, it could be ameliorated within a semi isolated ecosystem. greg ~krsnadas.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
