The great thing about PM is that there are clearly two contexts for viewing inbound mail: a plain-text one and an HTML one. All I'm asking for is sensible behaviour in the plain-text context. If the HTML mode doesn't require a double-click, or if it requires typing "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" into a special field in order to launch, it doesn't really matter to me. >Exactly. Of course, when the next "why doesn't such and such HTML stuff >work in my email program?!?!?" comes up, I expect you to tell them the >same thing: we're talking email programs and not web browsers. Correct, and that's what I do. The same type of arguments happen reasonably often on this list, and similar responses are given by others than just me. Thankfully, PM admits to being a plaintext-primary client and does not need to apologize. -b -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
