RFC: How should HTML archives be viewed?
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
)
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
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
4) Just change the
tag of the HTML message to: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
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
All in all, it does make the archives a bit more pleasant; let me
know what you guys think
