Ken - we could start a whole new thread talking about how bad and f&*%ked up handling fonts/font sizes in OpenSuSE is! Apparently what looked good to me when I send emails does not end up looking good to the receiver. There are so many font management tools, both discoverable and undiscoverable, versions, and even applications with their own font management tools, (Thunderbird, my email client that I use, for example) that I wince every time I try to manage fonts and I just hate it. I STILL have lots of stuff that I cannot figure out how to manage the fonts for, and for the most part I just have to live with what I get.
Nor is it possible to keep track (automate) of who wants HTML v.s. plain text emails so I end up letting Thunderbird handle that in it's own automagic way.
much better and more satisfying to default to lowest possible denominator which is "plain text". Getting a bit off-topic now, but Thunderbird use to have a way of associating what kind of email a recipient wanted, HTML v.s. plain text. I wonder why that feature went away, would sure make handling things like replies/messages to mail list groups much easier! you have a particular reason for wanting the entire world to know your "vcard" ???
it's just more irrelevant posting and distracting from the true purpose of your original post. Oops! Sorry, forgot that vcard attachment was turned on, I want it on for some "official" business communication I do with lawyers and accountants, but not for mail lists. Like the HTML v.s. plain text issue, I wish Thunderbird had the ability to turn on or off signatures, v-cards, encryption, signing etc., based on who the recipient is. One size does not fit all, as the saying goes and from what I see Thunderbird's design team is lousy at doing use case studies...
*YOU* have chosen to use thunderbird which you cannot control or doesn't have the abilities you desire. either bad choice or lack of knowledge of your chosen apps or ... but it is not thunderbird's problem. it's your choice. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
