What do you mean by "Rich Text"? The Microsoft Rich Text Format (often abbreviated RTF), which is a document file format, or HTML? The original design of the mail protocols is to send mail as plain text. Later on people wanted to send mail in other formats (HTML being the most common one). This led to a number of add-ons to the original design, and the method chosen was to send other formats as attachments. If you want to send a mail as HTML it will be sent as a plain text mail with an HTML attachment. Examine the body of a malfunctioning mail (you can do this by installing and using the message_details plugins (included in SquirrelMail)). There should be MIME parts in the body specifying the various formats used in the mail you're trying to send. If the attachment is in HTML, SquirrelMail should support it out of the box. If it's RTF you have to download it and then open it locally on your computer. I'm not aware of a plugin to make SquirrelMail convert and display RTF as HTML. -- Fredrik Jervfors The SquirrelMail Project Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donations.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
