Hi Mariann, Fred, Jason and all others, This is what i posted on any other threads at [SLE] regarding HTML: ---- "Talking about _Microsoft Outlook Express_, did you noticed such a lot of flames regarding the use of HTML (people talk about it as garbage, and instantly bury it on the _Trash_, what a pain!!). I personally prefer using Netscape Mail, because it gives much better control over what you send and in wich format. Many times our SLE friends tend to forget the difficulty, on the issue that not seeing visual difference they would not throw HTML, but also using any True Type Font do fire it. Not to talk about sending both formats as text and HTML simultaneously." ---- Can you see the meaning Mariann?? Beg your pardon Fred, some times people, as me, tend to not look further and reply insanely instant, but did you understand what i meant? Those described above where the reasons wich fired your flames. Good try Jason, but i got some deep knowledge about the issues, just a bit quick. =:`) One more thing Jason, post _publicly_ and not direct to the original poster, or include also [suse-security] on your replys, and let others know what are we talking about, thanks.

Hi Fred,
What are you talking about HTML, i can't see any on thread.
your email client is configured to format email messages in HTML, not plain text. most console mail clients can't parse HTML so they can't read it.

That is fine as you can chose to send in text format. On the side of the receiver the Netscape Mail User Agent might be configured to *not* show attachments inline. Security-wise people should save attachments as files on their file system and open those files with the appropriate applications. At least for me it is too time consuming to read messages from mailinglists in that way. So those messages will not be read by me and perhaps even others. That is not the intension while one posts on a mailinglist. Regards, Fred Mobach
Can we kill this really stupid (and offtopic) HTML verses text email thread? You're wasting a LOT of time and email for all the people that read this list, you are all guilty of breaking email ettiquette rules (personally I think this pointless discussion is a LOT more rude then sending HTML based email). Kurt
Beg your pardon Sir, no more offtopic's. No need to be so crude. Eduardo ---- Kurt Seifried wrote:

When sending emails to the suse-security list, my emails get rejected =o( This is because I haven't taken the time to fix my subscriber email info. I have a snazzy new email address thats aliased and the majordomo wont accept it unless I unsubscribe and resubscribe using this new address. I tried to do this a while back and confused myself with all the 'unsubscribe confirmation' and 'subscribe confirmation' emails and out of boredom I quit trying to fix it =oP If this email makes it to the group then it obviously worked *laugh* if not, then thats why I sent it to you directly =o) thanks. -- Jason Fruge' | Since we have to speak well of the geocajun@technogeeks.org | dead, let's knock them while they're Linux, the choice | alive. -- John Sloan of a GNU generation |
