I agree it's problematic. Display message as : [ Plain Text ] [ Text with formatting ] [ Convert to Markdown/HTML ] [ HTML / Choose based on sender ] option 2 does the bold italic stuff, option 3 (the one I would likely use) converts the mail to markdown (from either HTML or plain text) and then renders that via Markdown -> HTML. The last would display the 'best' option, plain text if that was all that was sent, and HTML or Rich Text if provided. -- Everything that was magical was just a way of describing the world in words it couldn't ignore. --Pyramids _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
