Shawn,
Thanks for the tags - I did notice that IpSwitch has posted the same list of
tags in their knowledge base with a note that this code is unsupported (see:
http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19990527-DM07.htm). Although this gets me
half way to my goal, my real problem is with the IMAIL.MailboxFolderSummary
tag.
However, late last night, I found a way to break the data that this tag
generates into indivdual client-side JavaScript variables that can then be
placed anywhere on the page and in any format. I haven't tried it yet, but
I think I could additionally use my JavaScript algorthim I've written to
break down any other proprietary IMAIL tag into indivdual data components as
well. For many of us looking to gain a more granular control on the
appearance of Imail's web templates, this has the potential to be a real
boon!
I'm planning on doing some careful testing on the algorithm tonight. If all
goes well, I'd be happy to contribute the complete algorithm to the public
domain via this list.
Randy

These are tags that someone had posted here in the past that I found very
useful.
Hopefully the HTML in the message will not blow Imail's mind.
