I agree with that, but it is not a question of the method to render HTML emails, it's a question of the result of rendering them, i.e. as they were meant to be seen. The user doesn't care about the engine behind it, he cares about the outcome and showing the HTML mail correctly. Outlook usually does that. And if there are clients out there apart from TB! that don't, we should use them as benchmarks. Saying "other products are even worse than ours" is not a way to satisafy customers.

Not Outlook, but the visual experience of viewing an HTML message. Nobody on this list preferes Outlook, and nobody says that TB! shold use the same technology. However, Outlook does the job correctly, and TB! (probably among others) doesn't. FW> Life is change, QED. Sure, and this change includes that more and more emails are being sent in HTML. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 4.2.33.9 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.33.9 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
