Subject: [cvsspam-devel] HTML formating with Lotus Notes
Message-ID: <BAY102-DAV26634E3D851F290247286BCD50@phx.gbl>

Hello, i have a problem with the html formatting when sending a message. The message don't have the backgroud colors.

I am using Lotus Notes and it seem that Lotus Notes can't interpret tag html like :

<span id="added">...</span>     where "added" is a stype with a "background-color" directive.

Lotus Notes work very well with some tag like :

<table><tr><td id="added"> ...</td>....</table>  where background color is well showed.

So an improvement would be to modify cvsspam for compatibility with Lotus Notes. The solution is  to use <table> tag for the "diff" sections of the mail.

I would like to know if someone has made this modification.
Thanks by advance.
Thomas.

You're proposing moving backward in HTML compatibility to support a 
specific email client.  I would suggest you contact Lotus and request 
that they support HTML 4.01 with their client.  The SPAN tag has been 
around since 1997!

First of all let me say that cvsspam is awesome, thanks for developing it! It was bothering me that
cvsspam produced a date header that was in UTC because of a limitation in strftime, but the time
extension package seems to have a rfc822 formatter anyways.  So here's a patch to cvsspam.rb that
uses that instead:

Thanks,
Andy

Hello.

Some console clients don't understand html.

In TODO I see:
support non-html mail too (text/plain, multipart/alternative)

This is very useful feature.

Is written any code to this?

There is currently no code to do this.  CVSspam is not very well written
in this respect -- the output-generating code is all mixed together with
the input-processing code.  Yuk! :(

Are you interested in implementing such a feature?  I've been meaning
to, but never quite get around to it...

The way I understand it, the html email message is built while files are
being checked in, correct? So you would need to build the email message
after all files are checked in, or build the html mime part and then feed
that into lynx (or something similar) to output text that can be used in a
plain text mime part. Im thinking for the time being option 2 would be
easier to implement.
