Did you happen to read what I put? You're not the best programmer in the
world and this is most likely a mess up in your program itself. Read the source, you don't need to create some bass ackwards program to do something that's so simple to get. Btw, if you use that same program to check an HTML page I bet the same stuff will pop up. If not, you definately messed up. --Bowen-- Have $3... want a website? http://www.smartpenguin.com/affiliate.php?id=12 [View Quote] kahMay 29, 2002, 3:51pm
Where in hell did you get that stuff from???? My guess is that you looked
in OE's message cache, which may save stuff in RTF, I don't know. The way to read your message only using OE is to right click it, click "Properties..." from the menu, go to the Source tab and click the "Full source" button. Anyway, if you follow my instructions about how to fetch a news post from the NNTP server directly you'll see that it is indeed HTML. KAH pc hamsterMay 30, 2002, 12:40am
Hi everyone:
[View Quote] KAH, this isn't always an option in some news readers. What newsreader are you running??? Better yet, what VERSION of it are you running??? Sounds like you need to UPGRADE some of your software. You can do so quite easily by going to http://catchup.cnet.com/ and download the little program the site uses. It's kinda like running Windows Update. Ya really ought to try it sometime. BTW...WHO were you calling a morfon earlier??? Just curious....

Unless of course you're using the stuff that came bundled with XP, then I shall laugh. Downgrading would be the obvious choice to upgrade. Don't need so many fancy menus and programs with flashy graphics as you need something that does what it needs to do ;) --Bowen-- Have $3... want a website? http://www.smartpenguin.com/affiliate.php?id=12 kahMay 30, 2002, 2:50pm

Just curious.... > > Cheers for now everyone :-) > > Patrick Cook Actually, I checked what newsreader he was using, and he was indeed using OE, which has the option (and unfortunately defaults to replying in HTML). As a matter of fact, I have the latest version of my newsreader, and it does support HTML (in a way, it decodes the MIME part containing the HTML message and I have to open it in a web browser to read the message). But HTML is a bad thing on news, it should NEVER be used, if someone REALLY needs to show things with fancy colours, then they give us a link instead. HTML posts do not conform with news standards, which everyone using news should respect. I'm running XNews version L5, I recommend it strongly (get it at http://xnews.newsguy.com) :-)) I called Tyrell a moron, and I've done it countless times before for his systematic HTML posting and completely ignoring news standards and generally being annoying.

Erm, actualy the program works perfectly.. it was to show the formatting

Mayhaps it converts everything you put there into RTF. Or just translates
HTML into RTF. --Bowen-- Have $3... want a website? http://www.smartpenguin.com/affiliate.php?id=12 [View Quote] kahJun 2, 2002, 2:05pm
