I love HTML in messages and want to keep using it. We got more than 20 +1s, a couple of 0s, and no -1. So I asked root to modify the mailing list... I'll keep you updated on how this is going to happen (maybe few hours, maybe few days!) :) Pier

Pine was able to turn the MIME into text, but it did strange things with the mailing list information. My vote would be [X] +1 -> Plain Text only.

RE: jdbc odbc bridge on linux
Here is a free JDBC Driver for MSSQL 7.0 http://www.thinweb.com/tw_download_twfreetds.html It is based on FreeTDS from www.freetds.org which also has it's own JDBC Driver. I don't know what differences they hold. I wouldn't say it is production quality. But it does do simple SELECT's etc. We have a few problems with it and thus use a commercial version also.

The number of fancy-formatted messages is on the rise and if we don't nip this in the bud, we may find ourselves in a position where folks who don't use the latest version of $MAILCLIENT are unable to read the messages. I myself use MS Outlook 2000 but I have no right to assume what the others are using. Hence the warning in the FAQ. This is not my first post on this topic and I'm afraid it won't be the last. I'm just trying to create awareness of the problem and I realise I sometimes have to resort to not-so-nice means to draw the subscribers' attention to it. If I can convince one person not to use formatted messages on the list, I'll be a happy man. I don't claim to be an all-knowing guru, but what I do know I will not share with those who are arrogant enough not to respect the rules of the list they're asking for help from. Regards, Emir.
