> A: Use another mailer.
Show me a Win32 mailer that has integrated contact management, journalling,
and scheduling, along with a word-based junk mail and adult mail filter,
with a little bit of programmability tossed in for good measure, and I'm
sold.
Until then, I would have to guess that the problem isn't actually with
Outlook itself, but some other step along the way. Sure, Pine displays the
messages fine -- it's quite lenient when it comes to messaging standards.
But somewhere out there, someone's sending mail that, either by their own
MUA or MTA, or the qmail-list's MTA, is not comformant to standards.
Someone has mentioned previously that messages that have too many newlines
in the header (or something of that nature) will cause Outlook 2000 to barf.
Well, then -- a message like that violates the RFC's for e-mail, doesn't it?
Or am I wrong here.
People say the same thing about Netscape / IE when a page doesn't appear
right. However, usually, it's the fault of the source HTML. A missing
quote or closing tag bracket may be ignored by one browser, and look really
odd in another one (one that's more strict).
I guess the bottom line is: When it comes to reading e-mail, Outlook 2000
(et. al.) are strict in what they're expecting, and messages that violate
the related standards cause it to choke in some fashion or another.
To help debug this, I have enclosed a message that recently showed up in
Outlook with no "From:" in the message list, and with all message headers in
the body of the message (Outlook doesn't display any message headers, its
only fault, IMHO).
