Hi Greg, On Sat, 26 Feb 2005, at 22:09:57 [GMT -0600] (which was 9:09 PM where I live) you wrote: GS> This thread is really about opinions. Everyone has one. :-)
Hey, you forgot to type out the rest of that saying! <grin> GS> This is a very important point which should not be lost in the GS> debate about opinions. I don't think anyone has. RITLabs thrust was and still is (see how they market it on their page) a secure product, "immune" to viruses, protected, a safe alternative etc. If RITLabs decided to abandon that marketing platform, then they need to get rid of those types of bullets and throw out ones like, a secure product, well, only if you know what you're doing and you don't enable any features that we send to your disabled etc.. >> XHTML, WCAG, CSS, Section 508 are moving targets. GS> Isn't most of the software / IT market a moving target? :-) To a certain extent. How long has RFC-822/2822 been around. How much has it changed? The answer... *forever* (in computer years), and almost none. XHTML just published 1.0 a cpl years back, then XHTML 1.1 really recently, and now 2.0 is nearly done. I've been in IT for a long time, and that's one of the first standards I've seen evolve that quickly. WCAG and Section 508 are heavily driven by XHTML and they also have a heavy influence in where XHTML is going. Those in turn are going to be driving how the HTML standard, currently v4, will evolve. It's a huge nasty bowl of spaghetti. RITLabs, IMHO, needs to stick with the meaty bowl of Ravioli. GS> Don't you really want your email client to be just text based? GS> What about the users who want HTML in their email? Absolutely! I'm not trying to be difficult or facetious. If I want to view an HTML message, I double click it to view it in a browser. There's no ambiguity about a link pretending to be from my bank but actually going to Mr. Hackers neighborhood. GS> Being a user of technology both professionally and personally for GS> many years the ONLY one sure guarantee in the technology market is GS> CHANGE. Businesses in this market need to CHANGE with the market. Not all change is good.
