I'm sure that the mail reader (mutt in my case) has nothing to do with it, because I looked at the "raw" output file that fetchmail delivered, and the color (8 bit) codes were gone.
What 8-bit color code are they using? ANSI escape sequences?
I made the codes using rich text in MS Outlook. (I only did that for
Rich Text is just plain 7-bit ASCII with markup, ala HTML, isn't it? I don't see how an 8-bit issue could prevent transmission of RTF. _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
Charles, Right you are... It's not an 8-bit issue. Maybe it's even a mime issue. I sent myself a color message and saved it to a file in Outlook. Here's the file: **************************************************************** {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}{\f1\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Arial;}} {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;\red51\green153\blue102;} {\*\generator Riched20 5.40.11.2210;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\fi-1800\li1800\tx1800\cf1\b\f0\fs20 From:\tab\b0 Mills-Curran, Bill\par \b Sent:\tab\b0 Thursday, July 22, 2004 10:04 AM\par \b To:\tab\b0 Mills-Curran, Bill\par \b Subject:\tab\b0 color test\par \pard\cf0\f1 It\rquote s not easy being \cf2 green.\par \par \pard\fi-1800\li1800\tx1800\cf1\f0\par } **************************************************************** So, perhaps this is a mime problem with fetchmail? Or, is IMAP still a possible offender? Thanks, Bill
