DSPAM double dot problem and HTML mail

Posted by Frodo Larik Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:09:00 GMT

When sending HTML mail, you’ll probably have some CSS styles defined in you HTML source.

It seems that DSPAM 3.6.8 on Debian Etch has some issues that lines starting with a dot, get somehow screwed up in the process and end up with two dots

so:

.mystyle { color: black; }

becomes

..mystyle { color: black; }

I’m not sure if there is a fix for it Dspam 3.8.x, but a quick fix for you HTML newsletter may be to proceed everystyle with an bogus CSS item like ‘#dspam’ e.g.

#dspam, .mystyle { color: black; }

This will keep your HTML mail single dotted ;-)
