So I get these emails from my coworker that are generated by Outlook. They email is supposed to contain a graphic border on the left, and text in a plain field on the right. Mozilla mail displays the email correctly, however evolution does not. I suspect that the email was incorrectly formatted by Outlook (we all know how MS likes to rewrite standards). Can someone check this for me? I have attached the email in question. So I agree with Dan Winship that standards exist for a reason. I hate MS's mantra of "make our own standard" or "start with a good standard and add some "tweaks" that only MS products work with". However, if Ximian plans on selling their "connector for exchange" product, wouldn't they be interested in making sure HTML email messages generated by Outlook users (in the exchange environment) are viewed correctly? Maybe we should put pressure on MS to "correct" their HTML email formatting. Has anyone talked to MS about this problem?
