Hi Bruce, Yes, we are definitely listening and hear you loud and clear;-) And thanks on the comments about the new feature of stripping HTML and passing through only plain text. As you noted, has several side effects including higher security and lower b/w costs.
Sounds like there are 2 feature requests - 1. Deliver mail if the To (or CC or BCC) Address(es) is in ALL CAPS or partial caps 2. Option to block email where Subject or Body is ALL CAPS Does this sound accurate? bye for now, kg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bruce Barnes Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 8:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Capital Letters Mike, Why would you want to "fix" this? It solves 1/2 of the equation of people SHOUTING in e-mail messages. I have users at several surgery centers who no longer know what the lower case subset of the alphabet looks like because they have irrevocably locked their machines into CAPS LOCK. No matter how much I try to explain that they are SHOUTING at people all the time, they just keep on typing as if I didn't exist. Now if we could figure out a way to prevent the delivery of messages (both originating and received) wherein the body of the message was typed in ALL CAPS from being delivered, we would improve those user's e-mail social skills significantly. **** Ipswitch, are you listening, this is another feature request. A "NO ALL CAPS" option in the content filtering would be VERY nice! :) **** Just my 2 cents worth. Bruce Barnes ChicagoNetTech Inc PS: Thanks, Ipswitch, for enabling the ability to completely strip HTML based content from incoming messages in the latest version of Imail. Both the State of Illinois, several universities within Illinois (staff e-mail only), and several of the Chicago area hospitals have recently enabled this feature on their incoming messages and now reject all HTML content sent to their e-mail users, passing only the TEXT portion of the message on to the intended recipient. (Note: Most of the above referenced groups are not using Imail for their e-mail servers.) In conversations with their IT departments, I am told this has significantly lowered the incidence of viruses received by those organizations - in one case by more than 80%. After hearing about this from another hospital, at least one of my medical center customers has requested that this feature be enabled. It's also a significant bandwidth savings!

Although the email address is valid. How can I fix this?
