> | So in other words, does this fix the "invisible mail" problem?
No this patch addresses a specific issue relating to emails received by
IMail from AOL 5 and 6 in HTML format. If your users are all Outlook Express
based then they will not have seen this but some clients are more fussy than
others. The problem is actually caused by AOL being a bit liberal with RFC's
as far as I can work out but there is sufficient lack of clarity to find it
difficult to blame either party conclusively.
As I remember, the invisible email issue was more about the way clients
interpretted and encoded speech marks in the real name section of an email
address when sending it, rather than anything to do with commas, if you look
through an Imail archive there will be numerous emails working out this
issue including a pretty exhaustive explanation by myself (if I wasn't at
home I would route out the email, though I have been trying to avoid this
whole thread as just saying something is bad without helping investigate is
not what this forum is about for me). The issue was more to do with how
clients like Outlook Express encode addresses when users include speech
marks in their real name section of their settings than anything to do with
Imail, from what I remember Imail was doing exactly the right thing when
give invalid input by dodgy clients.
Unless there is another problem I have not seen the solution is not to have
speech marks in your real name, (I can't imagine why you would want to
anyway).
