What you can try is to debug the communication between elogd and the SMTP
server. Just turn on logging via

Logfile = log.txt
Logging level = 3

After sending email, you see the conversation in log.txt. Maybe this gives you
some hints.

Are you sure that this does not stretch small images? Please see elog:931

I would rather go with a new class in the CSS file to contain this options, since I 
want to keep the number of options as small as possible.

I added your routine chkext() to the code, but actually use it differently. I
display now ASCII files not by their extension, but the code checks for each file
to contain non-printable characters. If it contains all printable letters, and does
not have the extension PDF, PS or EPS, it's shown inline.

I added ths missing tags. The validator at least does not complain any more.

This has to do with the "%S" vs. "%s" bug described elsewhere in this forum. 
I fixed that. The validator link above now also reports error free.

Unfortunately not. Please find attached the screen dump from such a try, together with the HTML code.
As you can see, the little elog icon is stretched to the same width as the upper (large) picture.

The "Preset xxx" option actually never was ment to be used with conditional
attributes. I added that functionality in rev. 1.553. Please give it a try.

Hi,

We have set up a elog server at our institute. The configuration file is
attached. We have the following queries:

1. When replying to another reply in a thread, the author_name attribute is
not substitued (as desired). Since this is a mandatory field, we are not
able to send the reply message. However, reply to the originial message
works fine.

2. "Use Email From = string" prepends an additional "" to the "From"
field in the e-mails.

3. "Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject" fixes the subject line while replying.
However when we add "Category" attribute to this list, it breaks.

Can someone help us?

Suggestions and tips will be thankfully recieved.
