Not to be picky, Ken, but since you are from Digicool... could you take a look at your own message at: http://www.egroups.com/message/zope/33350?&start=33322 (I checked both IE and Netscape, from PC.) Lately there have been quite a few mangled messages at egroups. Could you find out what went wrong and let people know how to prevent this kind of mangling? I have heard people saying repeatedly that please do not use HTML-format e-mail messages, did you use HTML format? Or is it related to a particular mail software that you use? regards, Hung Jung ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Ken's email looks fine for me... I'm using Outlook Express 5 (?) although the message @ the url to egroups is mangled horribly ~runyaga

This is because Ken used some dtml tags in his email, to explains some details, a common thing to do on a list that discusses the system that uses DTML the most. Some email clients, and the eGroups archiver as well, immediatly assume the email contains HTML and try and render it as such. This is a bug in these email clients and eGroups. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ | The Open Source Web Application Server ---------------------------------------------

I believe this is because the message i was responding to used a non-standard character set, and my MUA (email interface, pine) noticed that and used the same format for my reply. Evidently egroups doesn't handle that format well - but you can see the original message if you click "View source" in the egroups message display page. (You could also view it undistorted in the zope.org pipermail archives: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2000-June/027142.html ) In general i would prefer pine to stick with the standard US-ASCII character set, and just found the option for setting that (character-set), so i shouldn't be triggering that problem any more. (Note that i did *not* post an HTML-formatted message, and avoid that strenuously - in fact, i'm the one that (at some urging from michel, but with full agreement) put the prohibition against HTML in the list footers. However, my message did contain an HTML fragment in it, as an example - which, sadly, the egroups archives shows unescaped - the pipermail archives don't make that mistake...) Ken klm@digicool.com
Hi, If you want archives, I strongly recommend http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ for an easy-to-use archive collection without the adverts. Joe On Fri, 9 Jun 2000, Hung Jung Lu wrote:

Or you can check out the NIP Zope Mailing list archives http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists.html Also no adverts, and a powerfull and flexible search engine. Not that I'm biased. ;-) Cheers, Stephen -- Stephen Harrison stephen@nipltd.com New Information Paradigms www.nipltd.com
