Re: [CSCMail-Users] Linebreaks

[Daniel S. <np...@gm...>]

Actually this fixed the "problem". The messages look like before and like I'm
used to.

In fact I never noticed the layout wasn't correct (the thing with the TABs)

You're right: converting a \t to 8 spaces is just a hack but I don't care much
about that (I don't think it's important to format emails (at least for me)).
So for me this is alright. But for the long term your right.
I noticed the widget used to edit messages also replaces \t by a number of
spaces. Maybe the source of this one could help for a temporary fix. (just a
suggestion)

btw: I noticed that HTML-Mails not declared as such (which means normal
text-mail with html-content, just like I would write this mail with html) have
not been displayed correctly with the PRE-Tags. This is actually not cscmail's
fault, but the programs who created such mails, but its a hint that this was a
hack.
If you like to I can forward you one such message.

Daniel

PS: thanks! this was really fast!
