Hi, this is an idea I had. Tought you would have like to hear it. The problem rose from the fact that I wanted to send a document over a newsgroup and since I only use HTML as text formatting, I used the MIME type text/html. But the little pictures I wanted to add, had to be somewhere on the net, revealing an address. So I tought of a new tag, the <FOOT> container. In this tag, their could be any file encoded in UU or base64 or, even better, using MIME. In the <img> tag, as an example, the src could have a referal instead of an URI. This would bring HTML to be an alternativeto PDF. And as for MIME, major web browsers have a builtin mail reader who already have MIME capabilities. And security-wize, all the files are encoded so it doesn't bring any problem. Hope this will help anyone, DrVince _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!
