Details

I have created this template, and it illustrates the problem. When using an HTML template to create a Message,I think that some strings are counted from the second character (1?) to the length of the string, instead of the first character (0?) to the length of the string. In addition, the mail message is not valid HTML, due to the way the template is inserted into the message. I used the *Link* constructor in the Composer:- TEMPLATE ======== <html> <head> <link rel="important stylesheet" href="chrome://messenger/skin/messageBody.css"> </head> <body> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" class="header-part1"><tr><td><b>Subject: </b>Simple</td></tr><tr><td><b>From: </b>G J Boris Allan <BorisAllan@socialepistemics.com></td></tr><tr><td><b>Date: </b>Fri, 03 May 2002 22:38:18 -0400</td></tr></table><br> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-15"> <title></title> </head> <body text="#330033" bgcolor="#ffffcc" link="#6600cc" vlink="" alink="#3366ff" background="file:///D:/BoRiS%20Docs/Images"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;"> <title></title> <font color="#330033"><br> </font> <p><font color="#330033">G J Boris Allan [<a href="mailto:borisallan@socialepistemics.com">BorisAllan@SocialEpistemics.com</a>]</font></p> <p><font color="#330033"> </font></p> <address><font color="#330033">-- </font></address> <address><font color="#330033">Social Epistemics</font></address> <address><font color="#330033"> PO Box 11199</font></address> <address><font color="#330033">Takoma Park, MD</font></address> <address><font color="#330033">USA - 20913</font></address> <p>[<a href="http://SocialEpistemics.com">http://SocialEpistemics.com</a>]</p> <address> </address> </body> </html> </body> </html> MESSAGE ======= <html> <head> <link rel="important stylesheet" href="chrome://messenger/skin/messageBody.css"> </head> <body> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" class="header-part1"><tr><td><b>Subject: </b>Test</td></tr><tr><td><b>From: </b>G J Boris Allan <BorisAllan@socialepistemics.com></td></tr><tr><td><b>Date: </b>Sun, 05 May 2002 07:58:58 -0400</td></tr></table><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" class="header-part2"><tr><td><b>To: </b>borisallan@socialepistemics.com</td></tr></table><br> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <br> <div class="moz-signature">-- <br> <br> <p><font color="330033&quot;">G J Boris Allan [<a href="ailto:borisallan@socialepistemics.com%22">BorisAllan@SocialEpistemics.com</a>]</font></p> <p><font color="330033&quot;"> </font></p> <address><font color="330033&quot;">Social Epistemics</font></address> <address><font color="330033&quot;"> PO Box 11199</font></address> <address><font color="330033&quot;">Takoma Park, MD</font></address> <address><font color="330033&quot;">USA - 20913</font></address> <p>[<a href="ttp://SocialEpistemics.com%22">http://SocialEpistemics.com</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html> </body> </html>

Boris Allen, is this bug still occurring for you? If I'm reading the template correctly, it appears that at one time, all the mail headers -- To, From, Subject -- were being handled within the HTML -- could that possibly be correct? I've attempted to duplicate this with a simpler template, and do not see the href strings getting truncated. If this is working OK for you now, please mark this bug: Resolved|WorksForMe I note that the template shown in the original report is pretty awful HTML: there is an entire <!DOCTYPE>'d html document embedded within another complete <html> document, and <meta> and <title> tags embedded within the innermost <body>. I suspect that some of this problem is the result of multiple edits, along the lines of what's seen in bug 192557. Resetting milestone from 1.2a.

M. Ducarroz, I am inclined to mark this bug WFM, as the reporter does not respond to a request for more information and I cannot duplicate it. However, the bug is Assigned to you -- what do you think?
Feel free to mark it as WFM.
=>WFM Boris Allen, feel free to reopen if this bug is still a problem for you, providing more information as requested in comment 4.
