With the new version I'm seeing that extra <div> tags are being inserted instead of <p>. This renders as an extra line. Also, the default font is inserted ahead of the chosen font which sometimes affects font size (depending on CSS style file).
Therefore, all HTML messages I used for older versions of MLK are all messed up.
When I put in plain text without any formatting at all, MLK is inserting the extra DIV tags. I can delete the extra lines in WYSIWYG, and that seems to solve the problem, but it's an extra step, and time-consuming.
Please advise.

Hi Boyd
I can't reproduce that on on our test machine:
1. Copy the following from Notepad:
line 1
line 2
line 3
2. Paste into MLK's editor in HTML mode
-> It displays as above
HTML shows correctly as:
<HTML>
... snip ...
<BODY>
<DIV>line 1<BR>line 2</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>line 3</DIV></BODY></HTML>
Does it still do it if you select Edit > Encoding > Western European (Windows) on the message sending toolbar?

Hi Nigel,
I tried the test, and here is what it did:
<BODY>
<DIV>line1</DIV>
<DIV>line2</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>line 3</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
</BODY>
The rendering was just fine. I emailed you screen caps of an actual message I sent out. I compared the HTML in Outlook with MLK's HTML, and noticed the only difference is the use of Non-Breaking Space character. Outlook does not use that (it does use DIV tags to create line breaks).
I think where the breakdown happens is where there are 2 or more lines of HTML code and text in a message. Then they get rendered as though the NBSP and the DIV tags are separate lines, so you end up with an extra line break. |

Hi Boyd
Is this v8.11?
Did you try selecting Edit > Encoding > Western European (Windows) on the message sending toolbar?

| It's set for Windows 1252, which is checked on the Edit dropdown. |

Hi Boyd
Hmmm, one other thing. Can you please:
1. Run MLK and click Ctrl+Shift+I to display your key folders
2. Check the settings folder and click OK
3. CLOSE MAILLIST KING
4. Double-click the settings.ini file to open it in Notepad
5. What is the value of:
HtmlSourceCodePreservation
(It should be set to True)

HtmlSourceCodePreservation=False -- I changed it to true in the .ini file, is that correct?
Or is there an option within the program interface itself that I should change? And how did it get set to False? |

Hi Boyd
Yes, if you are not using the Western European character set then that should be set to True (I can't see a good reason why it is not).
You can either set it there in settings.ini file (then save and run MLK) or it will be set to True automatically if you choose either of the Western European encoding options.
