Well, the sending client can just as easily browse the recipient's address to see if it supports HTML :-) ...although I've had the chance to think about Mr. Waite's suggestion now, and I think making our own attempt at essentially reimplementing HTML may be a good idea ... here's my question: does anybody else know of a reimplementation of HTML using a larger subset of XML (i.e., a "new and improved" HTML)? If something like that exists, using it would probably be wise, assuming it's reasonably compatible with the real HTML. > > > _______________________________________________ > jdev mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev > _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
