  761   Tue Nov 2 02:51:09 2004 Question Kristinn B. Gylfasonelog@askur.orgQuestionLinux2.5.4Can the elog client submit an entry with a html body?
I'm running a Debian package of elog with verision number 2.5.4+r1480-1. 
The revision of the elog client in this package is 1.21. 

I'm using the elog client to send entries generated by a script to my
logbook.  I want to format the body text of the entry using HTML, to include
links and images.  When I submit the entry with the elog client it is
submited as text and not HTML.  

The man page for the elog client does not mention any commandline options to
specify the formating of the entry and I have not found any info in this
forum on the issue.

Is it possible to submit an entry with a html body using the elog client?

I added a "-H" flag for that. New version of elog.c under CVS and in the next
release.

  1449   Wed Oct 12 23:59:13 2005 Question Matt Kimballmatthew.j.kimball@state.or.us Windows2.5.4Trying to remove "mailto:" from the email address
We are using ver 2.5.4. As users enter new requests into the system, they would like email notifications. I have added the $user_email into a "notifications" section that we created. The email address that gets entered is "mailto:user@domain.com". Is there a way to remove the "mailto:"? Attached is my config file.

Thanks
Matt

The "mailto:" is there for good reason. After you submit the entry, elogd converts the "mailto:" into
<a href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a>

so the browser shows the email address as a link. If you click it, the browser automatically opens your email client with the email address already in the "To:" field. The same works in the main text body. So if I put "mailto:stefan.ritt@psi.ch", it gets converted automatially to "stefan.ritt@psi.ch", a feature many people rely on.

Now from your request it looks to me like you want email notifications, so you put
Email System CareWare = ..., $user_email

In that case the "mailto:" gets automatically stripped during the email notification, so the user_email gets entered and will be used correctly for the notification.
  594   Wed Jul 14 13:31:33 2004 Question Bartjan Wattelwatt0006@mail.hzeeland.nlQuestionWindows2.5.3.Always suppress email notifications
Hi - again a configuration question.

How can I suppress all email notifications? The "Suppress default = 2" flag 
allows me to always produce a notification, but the flag does not provide 
an option to never produce a notification. The flag "Suppress Email on 
edit" does help a bit, but still notifications for new messages will be 
sent.

I'm looking forward to your fast response... So far your support is 
fantastic!

hi again,

we have been doing a bit of stress testing for Elog. The most important 
thing we found is that Elog stops responding when a user uploads a large 
attachment (we used a 240 Mb attachment). 

Is it possible to add a flag in the configuration file, to specify the 
maximum size of an attachment?

Suppress email to users = 1
