Configuration file has changed, please take note!

Fix: when replying/forwarding, original messages with special characters were getting interpreted incorrectly.

Check that this plugin comes after other plugins that change message content such as email_footer and taglines

Version 1.0
by Paul Lesniewski on Aug 7, 2003
[ html_mail-1.0-1.4.tar.gz tarball (8503 d/l) Help ]
Requires: SquirrelMail 1.4, Compatibility plugin
Description: Chris Franklin [cfranklin at nomadcf.com] gets lots of credit for writing the Enhanced Textarea plugin, upon which this plugin was based. This plugin is a re-write aimed at removing the fairly consistent errors in Enhanced Textarea, but the two plugins still share a lot.

Improvements over the "Enhanced Textarea" plugin:

updated text area renderer
fixed all those darn bugs
as of SM 1.4.2, no source patch is required
for SM versions before 1.4.2, a patch file is included (no more full file replacement)
sends HTML email in correct format
no longer clashes with File Manager plugin
internationalized output
full compatibility with SM version reporting APIs

Note: If you are moving from the Enhanced Textarea plugin to HTML Mail, user preferences are backward-compatible, but nothing else is. That is, please revert to your original src/compose.php, uninstall Enhanced Textarea and start with a clean slate.
