In Response To: Re: Forum threads and other test feedback (Pete Perez)

Interestingly, I sent some characters marked up using ampersand, 'l', 't',
semi-colon and ampersand, 'g', 't', semi-colon and they came back on my
screen translated to the corresponding single ASCII characters. I've no
idea whether that was Notes doing it for me, or whether it was the mailing
list. It is a horridly tricky area to deal with. Regard this as an FYI.

Maybe I better slow down when I reply! I should have been more clear
about the HTML code.

It is possible to send HTML code as part of the posting and it will
appear in the posting as typed. However, the HTML will be not be
interpreted by the browser because those < and > characters that
identify HTML are changed to character entities code.
