Please help us test HTML composition - Page 2

i haven't followed the threads discussing HTML composition:

On the compose screen, i see (mode: html, body: html). I don't use HTML much and would like to have the option to hide this line.

On the same note, pressing tab from the subject field should go to the body of the email too (as it does with plaintext).

Also, if you have HTML set as your default, when you open a new compose window the focus goes to the HTML area instead of the "To" field as it should do.

It's just a "debug line" and not something that will go into production.

How about an option to set "Inline HTML" as a default reply mode.

I like that it has strikethrough as an option...I haven't seen many other providers that have that. I know it's not vital, but I like to use it sometimes for fun in my messages.

Gone to compose a mail and default has reset to TEXT (in options etc) when I try to change from Text to HTML as default the error message appears on top

Sorry, your preferences could not be updated - Unknown table for preference(s): WebBugProtection, DefaultComposeMode at /home/mod_perl/hm/ME/User.pm line 1147.

When trying to set HTML as default composer I also get the following error message:

Sorry, your preferences could not be updated - Unknown table for preference(s): WebBugProtection, DefaultComposeMode at /home/mod_perl/hm/ME/User.pm line 1147.

And when I send inline images and want to see how the sent message looks like, I cannot see the images.

IE status bar: there are errors in the page

Win XP, IE 6.1

3. When I have finished typing in a subject and hit enter, focus usually goes to the body-of-the-email compose box. With HTML compose, hitting enter on the subject line fires the Send button.

Looking forward to HTML compose very very much,

Please please please add Trebuchet as a font option. And some other nice ones too, but most important is Treb.

When logged in through SSL, clicking on the Insert/Modify Image button will give you an "Do you want to display insecure items?" warning in (at least) IE6.

greenplum · 21 May 2004, 04:42 PM

HTML default seems fixed now...Thanks, but when moving from viewscreen to compose via REPLY or cursor on ADDRESS the compose screen comes up on TEXT (not the HTML default). It's only when using COMPOSE from top menu it goes to the default HTML

(XP Home - Avant 9.02 Build 026)

This is so easy to use...Congrat's to all involved

Using the BACK command when in HTML mode on compose screen produces the Fastmail sign in screen in the body of the mail (still in compose)

I noticed that the "send message" button on the preview page does not have enough room for the entire "send message" caption. I think it may be the style sheet I'm using, but I changed it to two other ones and they did the same thing (they may all have different font sizes).

I also found that when I change from text mode to "edit as html", there is a moment in the compose area in which FM's homepage show's up. This happens multiple times. It also happens when coming back from the preview page after clicking "cancel preview".
