I have set up the Options on my machine to view the HTML version first.
I don't think it is possible to have every student on campus do this.
However even when I have "Show HTML version by default" choosen it still
doesn't format as HTML -it is still showing the code as text. When I use
Netscape to compose a message with bold, or colored text Squirrel
ignores it and just shows plain text. This is what I would like it to do
for my ColdFusion mail if it cannot let it render in the browser.
This would tend to indicate that ColdFusion isn't creating a properly
formatted e-mail. Netscape, you see, is creating a multi-part e-mail
with both plain text and html versions of the message attached.
Squirrel can be set to show either the text or the html component by
defualt. It sounds as if ColdFusion is only creating a single message
component and isn't even marking it as text/html. You can check this by
looking at the message headers.
I can believe that it might be the way ColdFusion is sending it. I will
submit this question to the ColdFusion experts. My question now is what
is a properly formatted email for Squirrel? It shows up HTML formatted
in Netscape, Eudora, Pegasus, and MS lookOut. I am pasting below a
copy of one of the headers. It looks like the type is text/html and
when I look at the header for some spam that I got (that looks html
formatted) it too looks the same. What is it that the ColdFusion
generated email is missing? What should I tell/ask of the ColdFusion
people?
Thank you for your help.
