Have I mixed soemthing up? I'm not an RFC guru, but I do remember that
there was one kind of HTML message that had "alternative" in the
content-type header, and the other kind of HTML message didn't.
Mustn't HTML always be multipart?
The point is, in an alternative-type message, the message is actually
sent to you twice: once as an HTML message, and once as a good honest
correct text message. If you hit Reply on this message, the %Quotes
macro will return the text message but not the alternative HTML
message.
If you do not have a text message but only the HTML message, the
%Quote macro has nothing to return, as it does not read the HTML
message.
When you disable HTML autoview, you will see a plain-text version,
regardless of whether a text version was sent or not. this is because
TB fakes the text version in the display if there isn't one. I
suggested that the %Quotes macro use this fake when there is no real
text message, but for some reason, I was alone. So that's why you have
to cut and paste on those messages.
