Just as a test, I reply to my previous message... looks like it works.

EDIT: I downloaded the latest elogd.c from CVS, replaced the one from the
latest tar, and recompiled.  Worked great!

Thanks for the prompt response, Stefan!

icon4.gif   Opera and IE behave different, posted by Thomas Salein on Tue Apr 22 11:29:44 2003 
I repeat ...
. Opera browser 7.03 simply crashes, when choosing the direct URL to our 
logbook, i.e. http://localhost:8080/logbook2. We have set a general 
password file and a different read password for each of our logbooks.
If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook1 everything is fine. We get a 
window "Authentication required" and type in simply the read password, no 
user name.
If we choose http://localhost:8080/logbook2 the behaviour is different. We 
see the window "Authentication required" appear, then Opera crashes.
Change of the read passwords did not change this erroneous behaviour. This 
problem was not with version ELOG 2.3.4.

In Internet Explorer 6 all is okay.


 ... and add

The behaviour is different in those browsers even with the start page at 
http://localhost:8080/
Internet Explorer 6 demands a login. But as we have no password we cannot 
login.
Opera 7.03 demands no login and simply offers the list of logbooks to 
choose one.
icon8.gif   'Reply' removes attachments from the original message, posted by Alexander ZVYAGIN on Tue Apr 22 17:13:08 2003 
It seems when I use "reply" with an attachments, the original attachments of
the message are removed.

I use elog-2.3.5

Alexander.

icon5.gif   problem with 20+ attachments, posted by Alexander ZVYAGIN on Tue Apr 22 17:17:36 2003 
It seems that maximal number of attachments is about 20. When you try to add
more, a new entry _is_ added to the logbook but the refernce to it is not
added to the web page.

Uhhh, Mr. "monster of number of attachments" gave it's stroke! Well, we never 
had such large number of attachments so I forgot to put a waring in. The 
limit comes from 

#define MAX_ATTACHMENTS  20

in elogd.c which you can easily increase (as long as you have RAM!) and 
recompile.
