Hey,

Does anyone happen to know what kind of html EVE uses for the mails inside the game? It seems to be an old html style. (it doesn't recognise div elements for example)

Would there be an easy trick to turn modern html into the old style? Or should I write some custom javascript to edit the html to the old style?

As far as I can tell its a subset of html4. Lots of stuff is done using font tags. Lists, divs and img tags do not work. The ingame mail viewer also has the bad habit of interpreting br tags as well as linux and/or windows style /r/n line breaks.
