utterance to the following:
First of all - a rule in psychology is "noone can
*make you angry."
Carrying this theme over to the color issue: No one can make you see
colors
you dont want to: Its your job to manage the settings of what you see
there.
So, in windows - internet options - under accesibility - you can "ingnore
colors specified on web pages" Under colors you can "use system colors".
Then the color profile you set from the desktop (right
click -properties..etc.) will apply to your web content too.
In Mozilla - its similar - only the "ignore" and "use system colors"
are
both on the colors page.
So what exactly do the settings for two web browsers that I hardly ever use
have to do with the way my e-mail client displays things?
There you go - that way no matter what I do - (cause these are all sent
text
only anyway - so i dunno.) it wont come up unreadable.
Bzzt - wrong. You are
sending Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0025_01C3357D.255F69E0" which includes a
text/plain part and an text/html part which specifies <BODY
bgColor=#202020> and contains numerous font tags which set the text color
as #000000 (black).
The initial fault is Julie's (she posted in multipart with both text and
HTML to start with, but MSOE seems to have a rather severe bug when
replying to multipart messages - applying your bg colour but the original
message's font colour.
I humbly suggest that:
1) Julie endeavour to post only text/plain to mailing lists (have you
*seen* what multipart messages can do to a digest or archive?)
2) Steve endeavours to find a setting whereby OE replies to multipart
messages only in text/plain. (Many mail clients have such a setting)
3) Both of you try to find a decent mail client. :-)
