Ron,   I can't do that! That would be the RIGHT way to fix it!  Where's the job security?  What am I going to do with our expensive issue tracking system?  How am I supposed to bill for overtime?  I was planning to build some kind of complex, CPU-intensive process!  How am I going to explain to the customer that we DON'T need 30 more servers?! What will happen to Dell and Compaq if we stop buying servers and use our obsolete quad-1.5GHz machines from last month? What will happen to Siebel if we don't have any more issues?!  The economy could be in ruins!   Heh heh...   Actually, you're (obviously) right.  That would be better, but I, personally, just needed something quick for one of my "knows just enough to be dangerous" clients.  I'm going to go ahead and load up the message in XML format and scrub it with a COM Object for the OWA-like rip-off interface I'm working on.  This will replace the iMail web interface in about 2 weeks anyway.   Which actually brings up another problem... when you Reply, Reply All, or Forward an HTML message through the web interface... is there an "undocumented" tag that allows you to bring up the reply/reply all/forward message in HTML format with the "-----Original Message----" junk or should I just pull up the original message and add the reply information and ">" symbols afterwards?   For example, for this message:   The <i>formatted</i> <b>message</b>.   On reply, the tag <!--IMAIL.MessageBodyReply--> gives me:   &gt;-----Original Message----- &gt;From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] &gt;Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 9:44 PM &gt;To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] &gt;Subject: Test message. &gt; &gt; My formated message.   with HTML stripped out and the ">" symbol in front of every line. Where I would expect:   &gt;-----Original Message----- &gt;From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] &gt;Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 9:44 PM &gt;To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] &gt;Subject: Test message. &gt; &gt; My <i>formatted</i> <b>message</b>.   -Norm   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ron Hornbaker Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Old Hack on Hotmail seems to work on iMail web users... Norm,   Have you considered putting the textarea-display method *inside* the BeginIfHTMLMessage block, so that it's used only when displaying html messages? The would keep your plain-text messages displayed in the normal manner.   Then you could add a simple script to the onLoad event of the readmail.html body tag that would strip all tags from that textarea field, if it was present, and replace its contents with the santized version, for better readability. As an added bonus, you could save the original html in a hidden input field (via the same JS), and create a link to let you open the original html message in a new window, if desired (if it was from a trusted source, for example).   Ron Hornbaker  - http://humankindsystems.com - 2,595 admins can't be wrong  - http://AnswerTrack.com - eCRM email tracking & routing  - http://KillerWebMail.com - the name says it all  - 1-888-952-4888 or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
