-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Alan,
On 23 December 2001 at 11:20:53 [GMT-0800] (which was 19:20 where I live) Alan Poulton wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and made these points: AP> ..

Tools | Import messages | From .MSG files You could import it to the Outbox, or to any other folder and then simply drag or move it to the Outbox.

AP> When I received the message back, it came back with the HTML AP> document as an attachment. Yet, when I use Netscape to compose an AP> HTML message and send it to me, the HTML message isn't an AP> 'attachment', it's part of the message. To be truly fair to readers, you should have send messages as multi-part so that readers who don't want to read the HTML can just read the text version. NetScape doesn't give that option. That's not friendly IMHO. AP> The reason I need the HTML message to not be an attachment is AP> because the List Server I will be using attaches some important AP> stuff to the bottom of the Newsletter - such as Unsubscribe AP> information. It does not attach this information to the bottom of AP> an attachment. You have no choice. HyperText Markup Language is designed for use with a HyperText Transfer Protocol server, not a Simple Mail Transport Protocol server. HTML is a document format and there is no accepted "across the board" standard by which to indicate that a message is rich text using HTML as a language. Furthermore, any addendum made by the list server is still going to be outside the <BODY> <HTML> </HTML> </BODY> tags and may not easily seen. I can only suggest making them a header of the plain text portion of the message. That way they at least precede the attachment and appear in the correct location in the envelope. Either that or use a different list server engine which is more familiar with the constraints of using HTML for Rich Text formatting. AP> Does anyone know if it's possible to send an HTML message with TB! Yes. AP> the way I want it done? No. AP> Am I even importing the message into TB! properly? Not really. I hope this has helped and that my prejudices (I would resign from your list *immediately*) have not influenced my technical statements here unduly. I believe what I have said is correct, but I may not be so. If anyone knows more than I on this topic, please feel free... - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
