04/23/2004 08:25 PM
Since I've been using the Powerbook (which I still need to replace with a newer one now that the "speed bump" is official), I've drastically changed my e-mail habits (personal mail, not work mail). In doing so, I wonder if I'm unusual in this respect. Previously, I was using mutt for e-mail on my IBM Thinkpad running Linux. If you've not tried it, mutt is really the king of all console-based mail programs. It excels at making it very easy...

Email Sentinel Pro 2.6 prevents users from receiving dangerous e-mails, by blocking attachments, scripts, images and spamming techniques before they reach the Inbox folder. Viruses aren't the only reason to be concerned about HTML email. Spammers use email bugs, scripts and images hidden in the HTML to track anyone who opens their email. E-mail Sentinel Pro stops spammers from verifying an address. [PRWEB Jul 15, 2004]

Is HTML on Its Way Out?


Is HTML on Its Way Out? 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
A mere eight years ago, the "HT" in HTML stood as much for "hot" as it did for "hypertext." This language of the Internet was on everyone's lips, from bedroom coders to boardroom capitalists. Now, though, XML, XHTML and other Internet languages are nimbly supplementing -- and in some cases supplanting -- their older and stodgier cousin.

XML, Not HTML


XML, Not HTML 01/22/2004 02:57 AM

Because enough people seem to be getting confused by my previous blog entry, let me clarify that I am talking about XML error handling and not HTML error handling. Obviously given the current state of the Web, a browser must be extremely good at handling malformed HTML and emulate WinIE as much as possible. We of course are actively working on that with Safari.

The reason I brought up HTML error handling while talking about XML error handling was to point out how much time and effort it costs developers simply to handle malformed content. Also for those who mistakenly interpreted this as an attack on WinIE, of course it isn't. WinIE had to emulate Netscape's error handling, so if you want to blame anyone, blame Netscape.

Right now the browsers that handle XML *are* draconian in their handling, and I see no reason why that would change in the future (unless WinIE weighs in with a tolerant XML parser). In effect as far as Web browsers are concerned we draconians have already won. :)
