[pmmail-list] This message SHOULD NOT have been rendered as html

Thu, 13 Jun 2002 10:04:11 +1200

Hi folks 
Most of the emails I get which wrongly render as HTML do so because the
headers are buggy - they contain a blank line which prematurely ends the
header block (and most of those come from MS-Word). But this mail, received
today, seems perfectly legitimate, yet PMMail is ignoring the content-type 
header, sniffing the message content and rendering the message accordingly
(with a dark grey background). There was no header indicating the sender's mail
cllient.

Subject: [meu] HELP!!!   Simple page timing out!
Status:   

Hey guys,
I'm trying to create headers and footers for the site but when I add a ".mv" 
extension to the page the page keeps downloading until it times out.

for example...
http://chronicmagazine.com/footer.html - is the html version
now when I change the extension to ".mv" this is what happens...
http://chronicmagazine.com/footer.mv

It can't be nothing with the code because it's simple html...

<html>

	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
		<title>..:: Chronic Magazine ::..</title>
	</head>

	<body topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" bgcolor="#322b32" 
link="#e62f04" alink="#e62f04" vlink="#e62f04">
		<center>
			<img height="41" width="759" src="images/footer.gif" border="0" 
usemap="#footerb92c363a"><map name="footerb92c363a"><area 
href="http://www.cartelgrafix.com" target="_blank" coords="80,17,213,41" 
shape="rect"></map></center>
	</body>

</html>
---------------------------------------------------
Can anyone see why PMMail is processing the HTML? The line after Status: IS
blank, and the message display did start correctly at "Hey Guys". 
The only explanation I have is that PMMail is sniffing the content, which is
a majoe bad thing.
