Re: yahooGroups and www4mail commands GET/SEND and XNOSCRIPT

Well,

This is being caused by the fact that the HTML code has nested scripts!
The close tag for the inner script is not readily detectable as it is
emitted in two separate write operations!

The new www4mail version 3.0/pre3.0rc14a now has code to handle this and
similar situations without the need for the xnoscript tag.

Thanks
