Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Old Hack on
Hotmail seems to work on iMail web users...
Ron,
I
can't do that! That would be the RIGHT way to fix it!
Where's the job security? What am I going to do with
our
expensive issue tracking system? How am
I supposed to bill for overtime? I was planning to build some kind
of
complex, CPU-intensive process! How am I
going to explain to the customer that we DON'T need 30 more
servers?!
What will happen to Dell and Compaq if we stop
buying servers and use our obsolete quad-1.5GHz machines
from
last month? What will happen to Siebel if
we don't have any more issues?! The economy could be in
ruins!
Heh heh...
Actually, you're (obviously) right. That
would be better, but I, personally, just needed something quick for one of
my
"knows just enough to be dangerous" clients. I'm
going to go ahead and load up the message in XML format
and scrub it with a COM Object for
the OWA-like rip-off interface I'm working on. This will replace the
iMail web
interface in about 2 weeks
anyway.
Which actually brings up another problem... when
you Reply, Reply All, or Forward an HTML message through
the web interface... is there an
"undocumented" tag that allows you to bring up the reply/reply
all/forward message
in
HTML format with the "-----Original Message----" junk or should
I just pull up the original message and add the
reply information and ">" symbols
afterwards?
For example, for this message:
The <i>formatted</i>
<b>message</b>.
On reply, the tag
<!--IMAIL.MessageBodyReply--> gives me:
>Subject: Test message.
>
> My formated message.
with HTML stripped out and the ">"
symbol in front of every line. Where I would
expect:
>Subject: Test message.
>
> My <i>formatted</i>
<b>message</b>.

Norm,
Have you
considered putting the textarea-display method *inside* the
BeginIfHTMLMessage block, so that it's used only when displaying html
messages? The would keep your plain-text messages displayed in the normal
manner.
Then you
could add a simple script to the onLoad event of the readmail.html body
tag that would strip all tags from that textarea field, if it was present,
and replace its contents with the santized version, for better
readability. As an added bonus, you could save the original html in a hidden
input field (via the same JS), and create a link to let you open the
original html message in a new window, if desired (if it was from a trusted
source, for example).
