Does SeaMonkey v2.49.2's e-mail client not show this HTML code in plain text format?
Hello. I got a HTML e-mail with its hidden section when using plain text mode. It only shows up in HTML mode (both original and simple). The section was style="display:inline-block;padding:5px;background:#f5f5f5;border:1px solid #ccc" target="_blank" href="http://CXTSoftware.recruiterbox.com/questionnaires/fb035u1/";> CXT Software Applicant Questions for Employment Consideration Form Shouldn't this part be shown in plain text too? Maybe a bug? :( Thank you in advance. :) -- "Even the ant has his (her) bite." --Turkish Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly. /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ Personal Web Site http://antfarm.ma.cx / /\ /\ \ | |o o| | If crediting, then use Ant nickname and URL/link. \ _ / Axe ANT from its address if e-mailing privately.

If that is the case, the bug is on the e-mail client which was used to send the message (or the sender) and not in Seamonkey.
