Images in HTML mail
Before I start, let me say that I've asked this several times before and I expect to get shot down again just like I did back then. But I still think this is a valid question: Why is it that few email clients will display images inline with an HTML message that TheBat! sends while they will do so for similar messages sent from Outlook, Thunderbird, GMail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, etc.? TheBat! also displays messages from all of those other sources correctly, so why is it that TheBat! cannot CONSTRUCT a message that other programs can view correctly? I'm sure that TheBat! is doing it right according to the programmer's interpretation of some arcane point of law in the mail RFCs and the other programs are wrong -- BUT at least all of the others seem to be interoperable, while TheBat!'s method for embedding inline images in HTML mail seems to be the odd man out, at least as far as interoperability goes. Until we can convince the world to give up Thunderbird and things like it, shouldn't TheBat! play nice and allow us to create nice looking HTML formatted email messages that can contain embedded images and still look right in Thunderbird and its brethren? Perhaps there is a magic setting that I've got wrong (FSM knows that there are more than I'll ever know about, let alone remember!) If so, could someone please tell me how to configure TheBat! so that an HTML formatted email that contains embedded images will look the same when received by Thunderbird as it does when I press SEND in TheBat! ?? Please? -- Steven Vallière | tb 5.1.6.7 | mailto:the...@e-visions.com -- If you didn't write it down, then it didn't happen. -Larry Zana Current beta is 5.1.6.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Gleason, Steven P Vallière, This is not confirmed here. What is not confirmed where and why does there seem to be the entire previous message quoted when you do not seem to be reacting to anything in particular? -- Best regards, Viktor Kabelacmailto:tbbeta-l...@kabelac.cz Current beta is 5.1.6.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Please don't feel singled out Gleason. ' This posting violated the list rules regarding top posting. Top posting, i.e., typing all your reply text at the top of your message and following it with all quoted text below, is not encouraged and we actually request that you not do so on this list because a) It makes it difficult to glean context from what you typed at the top of the message and b) It encourages excessive quoting. We would much prefer if you quote just that much of the message to which you're replying, so we know what it is you're referring to, and then below the quotation, type your response. If you're responding to more than one part of the original, then quote each part separately and follow each part with your response. Now, I know that you may not personally prefer this format and that you may disagree with some of the reasoning here. We very much respect this. However, this is the format that most of the active members here prefer and all members are expected, and are being asked to use the format that will make most of the active membership here comfortable reading. You'll likely get a more responsive group when you post using a style that is comfortable for them to read and understand.
