If I try and reply to an EvE-Mail via EvEGate I get a message saying "Message contains Illegal HTML".

Even if I try and send back the original message without adding anything.

Work around until we fix this is remove formatting from text like colors, size and stuff like that.

this is being looked at as we speak.

Don't worry, they'll never fix it until they learn how to program actual security. Its funny, they really have removed ALL functions and abilities of a modern forum in the name of 'security' after they had their ass handed to them with some simple injection. Now we can't add pictures, change text colors, do simple BBC formatting, link your corporate ads (they did do a workaround but its pathetic they had to do it in the first place). Basically think of anything you can do on any other forum out there, and anything you can do with the native yaf forum and.....you can't do it here LolLol

But hey, they are serving up hpps for 'security.'

Just came across this myself in the past few days. It kind of makes Eve Gate a real pain in the ass to use.... Ugh

Hasn't it been like that for damn near forever? I seem to recall getting that error MONTHS ago when I was trying to send anything spiffy via eve-gate.

Yeah but this happens when you just reply to anything. Just plain text. The quoted text from previous mails is formatted all funny, and you have to remove it.

While you are looking at that. Look at outside links bring reformatted/changed when the link has an "&" (ampersand) in it.

problem is that when some of that "illegal" formatting is at the very end of the message,
there is now way to delete this stuff.

i had some weird gigantic turquoise text at the mai i tried to reply to (which was normal sized in the original incoming mail).

and whenever i tried to delete it, the cursor turned normal (giving the impression it's gone),
next keypress cursor turned back to gigantic turquoise text :(

had to copy paste my reply / select whole / mail delete / reinsert my original text to get around this.


would love to have a "REMOVE ALL FOMATTING" button.

don't need no stinking markup in mails anways Big smile
so a blank textarea would be a blessing.
