I think an equally big problem with Outhouse is that it can't quote properly without an add-in and that even if someone knows how and takes the trouble to fix their copy of it that it still breaks threading by stripping all incoming references before it sends out replies. It really irritates me that new SeaMonkey/Mozilla/Thunderbird profiles also send HTML by default, and that to really turn it off you have to find two pref boxes on separate settings pages to uncheck. > I usually don't bother to read the 1mm tall text it sends out > (screenshots on request), unless I'm really interested in the thread. All incoming HTML and other multipart gets filtered automatically to my trash, and so I only open what looks safe according to subject lines. Good thing for the subject key [WSG] or many posts from this list would never get opened, unlike WD and css-d posts, whose moms seem to have greater disgust for HTML than Russ & co and pre-filter so that those lists don't get evil mail in the first place. Maybe we should take a poll to see if the majority want that implemented here. ;-) Speaking of screenshots, this reminds me of a file I just rediscovered earlier while reviewing some oldies from back before I knew what a doctype was. Try not to have a heart attack ROFLOL. Yes, I really did regularly use 800x600 once upon a time. http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/emailmumbojumbo.html :-p -- "Love your neighbor as yourself."
