Can I suggest that for any sqwebmail rendering problem, the first step is to
provide us with a sample message, and this must be done by taking the
message file directly out of the Maildir/cur directory, gzipping it, and
then attaching it to a message posted to the list (in other words, simply
forwarding the message to the list is not sufficient). A screenshot showing
how it renders in your browser would also be useful, as well as a
description of how you think it should be rendered differently. Also useful
is a tcpdump of the HTTP session between the client and browser when
fetching that page: try something like
tcpdump -i eth0 -n -s1500 -X tcp port 80 >tcpdump.out
on the server.
Next, please provide information on the exact version of sqwebmail you are
running, the O/S and webserver you are running it under, and the browser you
are viewing the page in. Also list the ./configure options used to build
sqwebmail, and any changes you have made to templates.
There are many problems which could be there, some of which may not be
sqwebmail's: for example, the message itself may be malformed (e.g. wrong
MIME headers), or there may be a bug in your browser. Without visibility of
the exact message which causes the problem, we'd only be able to guess at
what the problem might or might not be.
Regards,
Brian.
