[pmmail-2000] Dangers of HTML forwarding

[Jimmy S. McCorquodale, Jr.]

Hello Ken and All,

Stripping HTML as a feature is requested and being looked into. 

As for HTML integration and many other editor issues, they are being
corrected and we are implementing a 3rd party editor. (Estimated 2
weeks until it is a beta)

I will post an update on the 'stripping' as I get it.


Thanks,

jimmy

Yet another reason to avoid HTML in email:

I just tried to forward a message today that, upon hitting the forward
button, I discovered was not plain text. The quoted message contained
lots of HTML markup that was not visible in the reader window. (I'm
using beta 2.) When forwarding a message, I should have the option of
stripping all HTML markup and JavaScript. Stripping of scripting should
always be the default, and stripping of markup should be the default if
I've configured PMMail to send plain text by default.
