Hello, listmates.
I would like to start posting my messages using cool HTML tricks, like
pink text on a magenta background. I use NetScape for my news reader.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

You need a few more tags to get the mail-reader to accept it as a HTML
e-mail (as in this case, I see all the HTML tags in your mail, rather than
seeing it “marked up”).
You may want to just save a html mail (like the one from mr Zhang a few
mails back).
It seems like you need at the beginning of the mail.
From then on, it’s probably just a question of how much of the HTML features
you want to use and how complicated you want to make your e-mail text…
My personal favourite is the “light grey on medium grey background” that
some web-sites tend to use. I wonder if those guys that do that have really
weird gamma ramps for playing quake or some such?

Under the “Mail and Newsgroups” category of Edit | Preferences there
should be a “Send Format” option. You need to have checked either the
“Send message in HTML…” or “Both text and HTML” option.
(This is for Netscape 7.1)

Usually have to set the mime type for it to be recognized.
Also probably should have

Any other - not so respected - person than you would be flamed immediately
for this request
Is a special holiday in Boston today when it’s common to spoof each other?

By chance, I was talking over pizza with a couple of guys from the UK
who’ve done research into dislexia. Their theory is that most people
can’t easily distinguish black letters on a white background. (Where
does one zebra end and the next one begin, they ask rhetorically.) Their
approach to dislexia involves changing the background color of a
computer display until they find one that works for a particular reader.
Some people are apparently able to read light grey on medium grey better
than black on white.
However, I really meant my “question” as a sarcastic comment on overly
formatted html messages on the forum. I guess I should have used the
tag…

The “big dig” construction project that’s been going on here for a
decade released sarcasm spores into the air. I was assimilated. I’m no
longer responsible for the seriousness, or lack thereof, of anything
said in my name.

Walter, you forgot to make the letters flash in different colors. Try a big
red symbol at 30 cycles per second and see if it is really a seizure
trigger. Also don’t forget to use a 3 point font so you can see who has the
magnifier installed.
Go for it, I just delete or skip over HTML in newsgroup usually, especially
the ones I can’t read easily. With six grandchildren, I don’t need any
more.

Especially since you’re likely to have mutant offspring after reading

Maybe it will be a good idea to not use HTML mail? Sometimes, it annoys.

Don’t be so literal, Max. My original post was a joke, based on the
observation that HTML messages with colored backgrounds *always* annoy.
