Heh; you're preaching to the choir man, I know exactly of whence
thou speak. I am an old open source guy from way way WAY back (1995, the
year I ditched OS/2 for Linux :).
However, dictating to clients that they can't run the most popular
browser on the planet really is a hard sell from their point of view,
especially when this issue doesn't seem to crop up in any of the other
CGI/web-apps' they have ever used (which also tells me there exists
somewhere a way to work-around this issue, probably so obvious a lot of
people have done it by accident). Again, I'm totally convinced this is
not a fault in qmailadmin; but if a work-around for this issue could be
found, it might spare a lot of people some headaches. I've seen enough
mention of it in the list archives to know my clients are far from the
only ones having these problems.
Anyway, just my $0.02 Canadian, eh!
