Would I be correct in saying that sqwebmail obeys the "doctype" field to decide whether or not to render a particular e-mail as html, and that is a doctype is not specified, it will be rendered as text, even if an
No, it would not be correct.
MIME text/html content is rendered as HTML. MIME text/plain content is rendered as plain text.
That's not what I'm seeing. I recieved the following from a user, complaining that the e-mail was not rendered in HTML. It has Content-Type: text/html in the header, and is rendered as plain text. For the sake of brevity, I'm only pasting the top part, as the e-mail is around 50kb. After this is an e-mail that has a doctype tag outside of the headers, and is rendered in html properly.
Is there some configuration somewhere that I need to change?
