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

Fri, 04 Oct 2002 19:58:01 +0200

build 2.20.2502 pro, windows:

only the word "name" is red, everything else is still black

>I admit that I'm still with 2634, about to upgrade, but I see roughly the
>same thing, Jason.  In my case, I did what you did, and PMMail displayed the
>first word in black, and the rest of it in red.  So, "My" is black, and the
>rest is red.  All under W2K, SP2.

>> 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.
