Hi,
I have some scripts that download a webpage and email it to myself.  It 
seems that in later versions, the rendering of html in the email client 
seems to be different.

Ok, two examples:
/usr/bin/curl http://www.rottentomatoes.com/movies/box_office.php > 
/home/kerry/public_html/rotten.html
/usr/bin/metasend -b -m text/html -s RottenTomatoes -t kerry -f 
/home/kerry/public_html/rotten.html

/usr/bin/curl http://www.area93.com/contests/lookforyourname.html > 
/home/kerry/public_html/10.html
/usr/bin/metasend -b -m text/html -s KTCLLookForName -t kerry -f 
/home/kerry/public_html/10.html

These two scripts used to work, now the first one finishes drawing the 
background and then just sits there forever with the hourglass cursor.

The second one seems to load, but you have to select some of the text to 
be able to see it.

When I look at the same html files in the browser, the result is 
completely different.  It loads correctly in the browser.

I'm using the nightly build from Aug 15th, I believe, but it has been 
like this in the last few versions of Mozilla.

Another thing that I've noticed.  In today's Linux-Announce Digest #5, 
Volume #4, about 1/3 of the way down, the color of the text changes and 
stays that way the rest of the email.  It is the normal black and 
changes to a lighter grey for the rest of the email.

The break comes at:
Markus

-- Markus G. Kuhn, Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK

between Markus and the --, it changes colors and never returns to the 
normal black.  I assume this is along the same lines of how something 
that looks like *THIS* ends up in bold.

Thanks,
Kerry.
