get
the layout placeholders as well as the picture place holders, if i
click on another message then go back to the new one everything is
there. I'm using the classic view for my messages and have them open
in the message pane as opposed to full window.

JavaScript has nothing to do with displaying pictures...
If JavaScript is such a bane, someone explain why it is used so much
design and operation of Web pages? And why it is so great in Web
pages, but not email?
I want a serious answer. Not some knee jerk answer about it should
never have been in email. I can say the same of Active-X, although
Active-X is far more dangerous.
May I suggest that you start this new topic in a new thread? I just
happened to find it, and suspect others are skipping the great tab
discussions as well.
Bill Morrison, who is a mailing list user, rather then a newsgroup
subscriber posted the subthread in the first place. It appeared as a
response to me, but I think he intended it as a separate post, but
somehow it got appended here.
This could be looked at as thread hijacking, but I'm pretty sure that
was not the intent, its just another example of mailing list v.
newsgroup threading issues.
I certainly wasn't complaining about hijacking, I just thought that others
(besides me) were skipping the tabs thread for whatever reason.
A mail to news gateway must be very careful to handle both "In-Reply-To" and
"References" headers, and where possible use information from both. And to
preserve the Message-ID used, to prevent any duplicate entries in news. I wrote
several of these over the 15 years or so I ran news gateways for GE, Prodigy,
SBC, etc. They are hard to do well, and bad clients make them impossible to do
perfectly, so I'm not complaining.
The topic deserves a thread of its own, as intended.
