While I appreciate Justin including my recent XHTML compliance and
code formatting work in his summary of the improvements made in the
first Dada Mail 2 10 alpha release, honestly, who cares?

Awww I just didn't know what else to write :) If you want to provide
some copy, I'll inject it in there To let you know, most of what I
use for changelog stuff is pulled from the CVS comments (As an aside,
if we switch to darcs, I'll need a new way to do this - different
topic I guess)

But now, the more you know about CSS, the more you can customize
the look and feel of your Dada Mail installation simply by changing
only one file: your external stylesheet Want to hide the
breadcrumbs? Replace the header title with an accessibility- friendly GIF, JPEG or PNG image replacement? Show your archived
messages inline but only until they reach beyond a certain
height, after which point they'll switch automatically to an iframe- like scrollbar window? Now you can do all three without touching
a single template

Sounds neat Shane, here's a problem I have when I try to apply an
already designed site's HTML/CSS to Dada Mail's CSS For example:

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

Currently, the Dada Mail stylesheet is applied inline, and then the
site's default stylesheet is loaded via @import afterwards This
works fairly well, since the site's usual styling takes over from
anything Dada Mail has and Dada Mail, "Fills in" any styles I don't
have in the site's stylesheet

Now, (and I know you /won't/ believe this!) Some sites have either NO
or poorly written style sheets One of the things that Dada Mail
defines in its stylesheet is the body of the page itself - ala:

body { margin:50px 0; padding:0; text-align:center; font-family:Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size:13px; line-height:150%; }

This has a tendency to break the design of some HTML pages, which
haven't defined anything for the body of the html message Can you
think of an easy way to revert to a, default setting for, say, the
margin, padding and text-align? The text-align is a "technique" to
get the content centerered

Anyways, this is pretty interesting stuff you have here I'd like to
encourage you to keep going forth on this type of experimentation
Once we hit beta, we gotta focus almost fully on finishing and
packaging

Which reminds me, I have an alpha to release as well :)
