zopists,
Anyone have any luck with converting DTML/HTML stuff from inside Zope to RTF that can be sent to another party via email? I'm sure I'm not alone in the world searching for the document format that I can send to people that everyone can read.
plain ascii with chars >128 coded รค->"a is the only one that everyone can read, or at least that all mail programs can display. simple HTML is close behind
I though html would do it, but the Mimetools haven't been friendly in sending out readable attatchments.
Where do you use Mimetools in the chain - is Zope's mailhost with its mime support not enough
Any thoughts?
I don't think that RTF is more universally readable than HTML. And from your description it seems that the problem is not in encoding (HTML or RTF), but in packaging (by Mimetools). If you insist on using RTF, then DTML is very usable for generating that too, as DTML is quite format-agnostic, for it it is just text anyhow ;) -------------- Hannu
