ok. got past the imap error. Turns out this error message isn't just about which of the 6 connection type settings to use.

Now, the emails are posting, but there is a bunch of code preceeding and following the text.

for example, I just replied to a post via email with "did this work?"

The post in the forum reads:

Message BODY { FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif } TABLE { MARGIN-TOP: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66 } TD { FONT-SIZE: 80%; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif } TH { FONT-SIZE: 80%; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif } did this work?

I tried html on and html off for that forum and for the usergroup that uses it, but the results were the same in both cases.

Also, two quote boxes show up in each email post. one is who it is from (which we already know from the postbit) and the second quote box copies the original post, (which we already know from the thread)

How do I strip out the code and just get the text of the reply?

.

Thanks
