A heads-up for anyone who sends HTML emails with CSS styling:   Justin has (elsewhere) recommended a March 2004 article at A List Apart, titled "CSS and Email, Kissing in a Tree," as an excellent primer on how to construct CSS-styled emails so they come out the way they're supposed to at the receiving end. And it's still available at:   http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssemail/   However, the discussion that followed the article on the ALA site has recently been deleted with their late ...Continue Reading

No matter how many or few dev releases you put out, people are going to miss all, some, or most of them - for a variety of reasons: mostly because of time and convenience. Time, because unless you're me :) You have more important work-related things to do. Convenience, because it is sort of annoying to have to download and then reinstall the program manuall ...Continue Reading

Okay, I just fixed and uploaded "Bug #4" (the default_list_template's IE width problem), using a couple of Tan hacks. They're well commented (with a tinyURL link) for people coming across them for the first time, ...and actually, they don't look all that bad in there, considering. :-) While fixing that "last" bug, I also -- in the same spirit of keeping default_list_template as clean and hack-free as possible -- moved the: hack that I'd used to clear the header's floats into default_css instead, w ...Continue Reading

> Using /nested/ div's > seems to be a throwback to nested tables Thank you, sincerely, for your "philiosophical" preamble on this, Justin. Something was really bothering me about "Option #1", ...and the above comment of yours, plus: > There's going to be another group of people who are going to change > the layout/design of their lists using the list template function , have helped clarify what that nagging little voice was worried about. Namely: After the config file, the default l ...Continue Reading

Yeah, /now/ we're striking that fine balance. ;-) ...Use the whip, baby! > we'll release one more beta, and about one > Release Candidate in short succession. Yup, I'll have my work done right away.... But am I the only tester out there who doesn't think they'll keep up with such a quick release schedule, and may skip one of the above? The reason I ask is that I that noticed one of Frans's most recent error messages read: > Dada Mail 2.9.10 alpha 1- ...Continue Reading

Some fix :) I'm not sure why it doesn't work - either my implementation of the DB File stuff isn't correct, or the DB File doesn't like to have lots of archives deleted at once. > BTW, nice investigative skills there on the archives lock/ dada_bridge > problem. I second that. That must have been a ...Continue Reading

Hi Frans, > When I use the "check all" link at the archive menu, and push > the Delete button, nothing happens! It even looks like the > form is not submitted at all. There are about 100 archived > messages. This is an old bug, I reported this when we were still at 2.8.something in the forums, I think it is still in bugtraq as well. I also opted for a function to be able to delete messages 20 to 36 or something like that. I think it is still on the TODO-list. BTW, nice investigative skills ...Continue Reading
