Hi All,

I read several of the forums via the mail gateway (using GMail),
purely due to personal preference.
WITHOUT starting the forum vs mailing list debate again, I wanted to
find out (presumably from Slim Devices) whether it is possible to get
the forums altered to handle a few improvements:

- It would be good to have a link in the mail version of each message
back to the forum version, so that it would be easy to get to the full
web version from the mail version, for example to view inline images. 
It would also simplify referring to other threads when replying to a
message.

- The mail version of each message only includes the link for ONE
attachment, even if there are more.  It would be good if all
attachments were listed.  This link works correctly (for me).
Here's one example: The online version of the message is:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=58607
What I get in the mail version is:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Filename: sb_case_2_with_speaker_box_sm.jpg                        |
|Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=414|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

- The attachments in the web versions of messages don't work (for me).
 I understand that this is due to the fact that I use IE, and that I
may be able to fix this by changing to another browser such as
Firefox.  It would be good if this could be improved; I've
participated in several forums and attachments work there - why can't
they work here?  This was fixed on another vBulletin site as per this
thread:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63146&page=6&pp=15
So presumably it's solvable as an admin solution rather than a
you-must-change-your-browser solution.

Does anyone else get affected by this?  If I'm the only one that this
all applies to, I'll shut up :)

Thanks
Geoff
