So..
I wanted to give everyone a peek at the way I'm working on the emails to look. This is the plain text version.
I certainly plan to have a full html version of the email either in this next build or shortly thereafter depending on my luck with vbmail's system. And the html emails would look like a blend of this plain text format and the current emails that are sent out for the current build.
To give a little insight into my thoughts and why I'm going for this format:
As I was dealing with some of the different online businesses I started to notice that more and more were going to an email system where you needed to reply between Line X and Line Y. This let them be sure that they were cutting up the email correctly and getting your reply right.
It kept things from getting messy with previous messages coming through in pieces, ads were gone, etc.
The thing i didn't like about them, is they had like 3 paragraphs of bs text and then the lines and more text. It almost obscured where you needed to put your message.
I tried to address that concern.
The biggest benefit is the regex's for this would be VERY simple. The forum posts will look GREAT! because they won't have the other messages quoted a billion times. AND the emails you get, have the current message AND the message that person was replying too!
Anyway, I'm pretty damn set on this format, but did want to give everyone a chance to peek at it before it rolled out.
The open reply format just proved to be almost impossible to keep things even halfway neat lookin
