-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 'Lo Don,
On Tue, 3 Dec 2002 09:27:42 -0500 your time, you said: DZ> The only time I find html mail useful is on certain newsletters I DZ> receive. I can't even abide html newsletters Don! Sign up for a text based email, and recieve an html one instead :-/ An I just loathe the newsletters loaded with 101 ruddy images, all trying to resolve at the same time, and when they don't you get a load of crumby placeholders and an almost indecipherable page of misplaced markup rubbish. Send me a flipping link I say; I don't need or want html newsletters. DZ> But at the same time, TB should offer better html support. Yes, I agree there. DZ> It also offers the ability to toggle on/off the downloading of images DZ> referenced by the html mail, so the "web bug" trick used by spammers DZ> won't work. I'd like to see such a feature in TB!. Better still, auto-bounce any html messages so the sender gets the hint <g> DZ> Like it or not html mail is here to stay and Ritlabs ignoring it won't DZ> gain them any new customers. Well yes, and that's the case really isn't it, and others being parochial and stubborn about it is just shortsighted in my not so humble opinion. I think the possible revolt of a dedicated section of its existing user base over this issue must be a little worrying for RITLABS. Nonetheless, I personally wouldn't consider such a revolt to be good enough reason to not move forward. You are always going to lose a few on the way, that's just the way things are! - -- Sl�n, Simon @ theycallmesimon.co.uk ****************************************** PGP Key: http://pgp.theycallmesimon.co.uk/ Faffing about with TB! v1.61 on W2K SP3 #1990.
