It's still html. Life with Microsoft is not easy... It was great relief
when my company switched from MSMail+POP3 to IMAP mail and I was able
to switch to Netscape from Outlook. It still crashes on me from time
to time, but it's so much easier to persuade it to do what *I* want,
not the other way around :-).

Note that I need to have the password for application administrator
in the config file, not for the administrator of the whole database
server, which is much more acceptable situation.

Minimal necessary privileges is certainly a good pattern to follow, but
what I'm saying is that to implement that you need human intervention
for account creation, or db/directory server administration rights
for the application, which gives pretty much opposite result than
planned.

For the past week? Not much :) But coding gives me a lot of satisfaction.

Now my buddies here at e-point are unhappy because lot of their code
got broken... But it's all for a good purpose. :-)
