Post by thread:[OT]: ACK! Sorry. Brain-scrambled browsers...

Can anyone subscribed to [other] tell my browser's going psychotic? I (very unusually!) "stooped to" HTML enabled mail to send e-mail to a friend of a friend, the stupid thing then proceeds to change the To: address from her address to the PICList - During sending this e-mail. SORRY! (Mike, why in the WORLD's the list letting HTML and images go through the list, ideas? It's bad enough Netscape's gone mad on this box, the list shouldn't then allow it... I sent it HTML-Only so was shocked to see it re-post from the list, HTML and all...) Mark, disgusted - I think I'll go reboot now. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

The HTML came through because of the way the server does the HTML stripping. The way it does this is it looks for a message that has *both* an HTML attachment *and* a plain text attachment. It then strips the HTML attachment off. It does this because that's the way that the "Rich Text" messages *usually* come through. But there's a few seriously brain damaged email clients out there that sometimes do just an HTML attachment with no plain text attachment. As for the image - it came through because we never told the server not to. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | He that is slow to believe anything and | everything is of great understanding, '91 GS500E | for belief in one false principle is the Morgantown WV | beginning of all unwisdom. part 2 233 bytes content-type:application/pgp-signature (decode) part 3 133 bytes -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

Nope, this brain-scrambled Browser did that, not me! I'd be far more creative if trying for that, and hardly would post from here <G> The Subject line originally was "Re: Aha, you Are #### #######'s Friend! <G>" (slightly anonymized with '#'s <G>) - Apparently some different memory struct than I saw in the Mail Compose window was recycled, to provide subject and address for the post. I'm QUITE annoyed, that's not playing fair. Browsers are supposed to forewarn me, not "drygulch" me! Perils of using a browser and not re-booting 3+ times a day, I guess <G> Mark -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList .....piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspam.....mitvma.mit.edu
