That horse has long bolted :-(. You can't block them, and you can't set them to not render, because just too many people send messages in that format by default.
I have one client who has a corporate email system that strips css - not all HTML, just css - and it causes all sorts of bother on a day to day level.
HTML not rendering - would be nice. Problem is that so many people expect to be able to forward formatted stuff and have you understand it - for example, the other day I got a mail forwarded via my css-stripping client, with instructions to 'substitute in the red text' - of course, the red had vanished with the css, cue running about and wibbling...
Or people forwarding newsletters "can you do something like that only purple' etc, etc... Or they embed an image inline or even set it as a background rather than attaching it, without knowing the difference, and the image contains some vital detail, and obviously they sent it late on Friday afternoon and expected it to be actioned by Monday...
Thunderbird - I know what you mean. I just cannot find an email client I really like, I've tried a bunch and keep coming back to Eudora, even though development on Eudora is dead as a doornail and I have a horrible feeling that it won't run under Window 7 :-(
LOL, sigisgrim channels the spirit of... when would it be, 1996 maybe?
My maternal grandfather became an electrician in the 1930s ('it is the coming thing' he told his small daughter). I like to imagine him ranting about foolishness of the hoi polloi replacing their own lightbulbs and fuses.
Ooh, does Turnpike not play nicely with Windows 7? That's another reason to stick with XP, then. I love Turnpike (even though I parted company with Demon years ago) for many reasons, including the ones you mention.
Thanks, that's useful to know. I don't think I want to mess around with virtual machines, to be honest.
I do like Turnpike's design. I shouldn't be surprised at how rare a good clean user interface is, but I had a day's training course on our school database system yesterday, and was horrified at how cobbled-together it felt for such an expensive bit of software. Almost every screen has its own unique way of doing things, and they were all inconsistent. Aaaaargh!
