I am walking on thin ice here, because discussing the rules is not appreciated either. ;-) But the fact is that you can define different fonts for HTML mails as opposed to plain-text messages. Over here, the RTV (rich-text viewer, used for displaying HTML mails, and unfortunately also for UTF-encoded mails) displays messages in a font that is pleasant to the eye in Thai language, but looks ugly in English. The PTV (plain-text viewer) uses a font that is nice for European languages but looks ugly in Thai. Other people have other reasons for using different fonts. The agreement is that the TB lists use plain text, and everybody is happy! My only problem is with UTF-encoded mails, and the rules don't forbid them. I think that's OK, because I like the idea of UTF. The problem is that TB displays them in RTV, as the PTV is not capable of interpreting them. I wish UTF-encoded mails could be displayed in the PTV, like I can display HTML mails in the PTV if I wish to do so. -- Cheers, Thomas. Amuse yourself for endless hours by hooking a camcorder to your TV and then pointing it at the screen. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 3.85.03 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current ALPHA is 3.86.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
