Okay Firstly let me apologise. It seems I have no control on how my mails are sent. We are forced to use and ancient version of Lotus Notes here
and I too have been cursing my Lotus Notes for a very long time, but have learned to work around its stupidities and some of my own. (I'm actually replying to the digest, but have removed all the irrelevant stuff)
I'm not sure how the rest of the folks on this list receive the mails that I send when I reply "with history" which is Notes quaint way of including your replies to my questions etc.
Badly as evidenced by what is sent back to you
So A) I have not posted HTML to this list. I see no reason to. Any HTML links that have may have been added seems to have been done by this blessed mailer.
But you can change your settings, I might have a newer version so the names and path might not be identical, but I'm 99% sure that all versions that support HTML, have an option to disable it. File -> Preferences -> User Preferences ... -> Mail -> Internet -> Internet Mail Format -> Plain Text only
B) The quote that you claim I have used improperly is something you, Mr.Denk pulled out of my first post. It was from my original post and
you
cut and pasted it in your reply. My mailer seems to have mangled this somehow.
Notes 6.5 has a somewhat better "Reply with Internet-Style History" option which wasn't present in Notes 5.0. I'd recommend only "copying and pasting" the text you want to respond to, and not the entire "with history" that Notes gives you.
C) Hence do not look below the area that contains my name Sadanand Warrier because that is where what I type ends and the rest of it is
stuff
that is added by Notes.
But it is really ugly to look at, makes searching harder and at best is just a waste of bandwidth & diskspace.
Now to come to the problem.
Which I'll let others respond to.
This is where my current mail ends.
Thanks
Sadanand Warrier
