Hey everyone,

I've been doing some work on the archive viewing abilities of Dada Mail; I wanted you guy's opinion on how HTML archive messages should be viewed At the moment (and for example:

 http://mojo
skazat
com/cgi-bin/dada/mail
cgi?

flavor=archive;list=dadadev;id=20050729225002 Gee is it your mailer or the archive in dada that splits the long URLs in 2 lines? (maybe we could use tinyurl com for these

)

HTML messages are stuck in a iFrame, to preserve any formatting that they may have The rub on this is, well, it's stuck in an iFrame and there's an extra scroll bar and it doesn't really work well with anything else If we took it out of the iFrame, it would look just like the PlainText archive messages, just with HTML styling - but any CSS defined in the of the message itself would be lost This may be a good thing, who knows So the choices are:

1) Yeah! Keep it the way it is!

2) No! Get rid of the iFrame - it looks lousy, we'll take the problems it causes with open arms

3) Make (1 and (2 a pref so I can switch back and forth Well being a geek, I always like one more option to select I'd go for this one, but only if it doesn't end up in a lot of ugly code (I didn't read the code so far so I can't elaborate on this)

4) Just change the tag of the HTML message to: , like Yahoo! Mail does - thus having the web browser disregard all the information in the tag (sort sloppy, breaks XHTML compatibility)

5) Do something I haven't thought about!

Some other "exciting" news:

I hacked in support of inline images in archive messages -

 http://mojo
skazat
com/cgi-bin/dada/mail
cgi?

flavor=archive;list=dadadev;id=20050731184504 Nice!

I also hacked together support for having quoted text be styled different in plain text archives messages -

 http://mojo
skazat
com/cgi-bin/dada/mail
cgi?

flavor=archive;list=dadadev;id=20050731222501 I like this also much easier to read!

All in all, it does make the archives a bit more pleasant; let me know what you guys think Thanx!
