Description Robi Karp 2011-02-23 23:31:09 UTC
The attached HTML message (text part says to view html) is not being displayed by Claws 3.7.6.  I use the Gtkhtml2 Viewer plugin, so I guess its the fault of this plugin.

The structure of the html part of this message is very broken indeed.
Comment 3 Robi Karp 2011-04-17 14:04:53 UTC
It may be broken but its the one used by the CRM of my kids' school, and probably reasonably mainstream, I know they just switched to it.  I am reasonably confident that every other mail client the other five thousand parents use manages with the content ok, as I'm the only one complaining.  Any chance Gtkhtml2 can support it too?
Comment 4 Paul 2011-04-17 14:13:39 UTC
In the meantime you have other choices in Claws Mail: the Fancy plugin, or no HTML plugin at all, both of which will display the html content for you.

Hi,
The text is inside the following:
 <table>
  <tr>
   <td>
    <table>
     <tr>
      THE TEXT, Notice there's no td
    </table>
 </table>
</td> (notice the mismatched close tags)

This is beyond my libgtkhtml2 level of competence to implement workaround for such kludges, so this isn't going to get "fixed".
