compose*.htm bugs/problems
Hi.

Qstn wrt the maxlength in text and html mode. The former is 75 and the latter is 255. So what is a user starts in text mode and subject limit is reached switches to html mode and keeps typing additional matter in subject line till 255 is reached and then switches back to text mode to send the mail finally. Why is this difference there in max length between the two modes.

In IE.
In any mode (html or text) a user decides to send mail to addresses in the particular gorup (haing many addresses). SO on clicking the Send Email in the address book a vriable amount of horizontal scroll is introduced and this carries on when there is a switchover/switchbak to/from html/text modes. This possibly is being caused by style="width:100%" and on removing that the text box becomes too small (taking 60/40 values in text/html modes). So how to get over this problem of variable horizontal scroll being introduced. Similarly even if Addresses are individually intordiced frok address book and then the user switches the compose mode then also the horizontal scroll is introduced.

Any Solutions/suggestions....

1) Left over code in the nessa compose.htm. Just change the limit in the html from 75 to 255.

2) Sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to say there.

Hi

Case 2. Elaborated with following two examples:

2A: I have address Group With Say 5 email addresses. I select the group and then click on Send Email. The addresses are included in the To:---- but then the To: text box expands to full length to display all the addresses included and this in turn introduces the horizontal scroll which would vary depending upon the total length of the email addresses in the given address group.

2B: I include 'N' number of email addresses in the To: from Address Book selecting one at a time. I include say 5 email addresses. Everything goes fine. No scroll introduced. Now i decide after this to switch mode to the Non Default Mode (in my case switch from Text-->HTML). When the compose_html.htm page is displayed again the horizontal scroll as in 2A above is introduced.

The above two cases are quoted as examples. Imagine the amount of scroll introdued if 20 email addresses were to be included in To or for that matter CC/BCC. The problem is wrt Horizontal Scroll.

I am on Internet Explorer 6.X

Thnx

(1) Limit in html is 255 but in compose.htm is 75. Why is the difference there between the two modes? What happens to the sent mail if after typing a 255 character Sub in html mode, the user switches to text mode as the Sub is not truncated to 75 characters as evident while continuing to compose that mail after switching from html to text mode.
