I googled, I checked the FAQ - must not be searching on the right terms. When responding (and quoting/including) the original note in a reply I want to strip the HTML part of the original note. I only want to include the text version of the original note. How do I accomplish this? As an aside, because I couldn't figure out how to not quote the HTML portion, I gave Thunderbird and Evolution a try (for a day or two). I sure missed several features of exmh so I'm back: * On the fly spell checking - WITH SPELLING hints at the bottom of the sedit window. * Colorized quoting (> is a diff color than >> and so on) * emacs style editing - may hands tend to be on my keyboard when writing email, I don't want to mouse over to where I want the cursor. * folder management just seems easier in exmh - "m" to move msg to my current move folder. * using mh commands (scan) to quickly check email without having to start a GUI app. * If a note doesn't have a subject - or short subject, I get to see the start of the message - didn't realize how much I use this. I did enjoy the ability to quickly resize/zoom a message in thunderbird. ----- Tim Jedlicka, bonzo <at> lucent.com, 1-630-713-4436, AOL-IM=tjbonzo Network Entomologist, Lucent Technologies, LWS NOVE/SLRnet Lab Operations
So, the nasty message is from someone that did a Reply to a message
containing an attachment, so the raw base-64 encoded message was
included in the message as text. 88 thousand lines of it.
There is a Msg_Highlight feature
in exmh that wades through text attachments looking for things to
highlight. That's what caused the initial delay in the message display.
There is a MIME preference called "Highlight Message Quotes" that
will turn this off. Yeah, that works. I'll see if I can auto-disable
that if the size of the text range is just too long.
I still don't understand the delay leaving the message and going
to the next, although it might be related to dumping all that crap
into the text widget. Hmm - once the highlight text range is off,
leaving the message is quick as well.
At any rate, thanks for the email. I need a slight kick in the pants
to churn out another exmh tarball release.
