Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] new email app

[Dave Hall]

Hi all,

Ok, as you can see there are a few issues to be resolved.  The first
message was composed using the WYSIWYG html composer, then stipped on
the server side.  The formatting is already better.

Again please be patient as I finish of this exciting new app.

Cheers

Dave
