What if your html editor preview were to be configured per your default html *view* settings while your actual message were to default to be sans background color, font size, and font face? If TB's html editor *view* were not directly linked to the message's code, this could go smoothly, IMO. But such a thing would confuse a lot of people migrating from OE/OL. > However, this isn't always good since the plain text version > may not contain vital formatting that's in the HTML version, a > typical example being the HTML mail sender deciding to use > differently coloured text to distinguish quoted from new text > and abandoning quote prefixes.

I'd think it would be very practical to all recipients of html messages. As for implementation, I'd like to see a button on the viewer that could override any html message to one's default settings. Dennis Hayes employs the use of something similar on this site http://www.haysdesign.com/ and similar usage is displayed here as well: http://www.alistapart.com/stories/alternate/ We already have this power in TB, as you note, provided that no absolutes are declared. The above examples are possible answers to those messages that do have absolute declarations. -- Best regards, James [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stamp-co.com The Bat! v.1.63 Beta/6 Windows XP build 2600 AMD Athlon 1Ghz 1.0 Gb RAM ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 1.63b6 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
