Ok, I'll try to get it done this week. The next question is, should
anything be in the header/footer files by default? If anything, I would
probably want to put this in the header:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 TRansitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>QmailAdmin</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=##X000">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<h2>##S</h2>
And this in the footer:
</html>
Thoughts?
