[sw-l] Sign Puddle email with imbedded graphics for all

[Stephen Slevinski]

Hi Val,

The "Use Online Images" option will link to the images in the Sign Puddle
dictionary.  Emails can not be read offline if "Use Online Images" is
checked.  The images will only display when someone is connected to the
internet.  These images may also change if the dictionary images change.

The default for sending mail is to embed the images in the email itself.

I do not believe that anyone will have problems reading the SignWriting
emails with the new default.  If anyone is having problem, please tell me
now.  I will be using the same technique when I can accept SWML and SGN
files.  Then gloss will only be an option and not required.

-Stephen

Stephen -
I think this is amazing. I love these changes you made....My two email
software programs...Netscape Mail and Mac Mail...both are viewing these
new messages beautifully on the Mac. But I do not know what other
people experience...plus...sending messages to the SW List can
sometimes change things too...if the List software is not happy, it can
bounce messages back to me, the manager of the List...and I am noticing
some new bounces from some List email addresses when I posted email to
the List, from the new SignPuddle..so I am going to find out slowly
what is happening with some of those email addresses on the
List...Could it be possible that some email software programs cannot
accept embedded images? That is the only problem I can imagine....

Other than that, this is a great improvement - I am curious when it is
good to check that box for Use online images, and when it is not?...
Val ;-)
