[pmmail-list] New 'color' bug in PMMail

Fri, 04 Oct 2002 10:04:44 +0100

If I receive an email from someone using colors in Microsoft Outlook,
PMMail is mis-interpreting it the color formatting used.

For example, if someone uses Outlook to send me a message saying "My
name is John Smith" with the word "name" colored RED, then when PMMail
displays it, the words "name is John Smith" is all in red, not just the
word "name".

I am using version 2657 under W2000 - but this has been happening for
the past few builds at least.

Here is the HTML of the email below sent to me below:

<HTML>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2719.2200" name=GENERATOR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hello my <FONT color=#ff0000>name</FONT>
is John Smith</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>

</HTML>
