[AccessD] Zoho Access Migration Plugin

If the browser correctly renders html code which confirms to the W3C
standards then anything which is not rendered  correctly is because the
Presentation to the Browser is the problem, not the browser.

I think we are saying the same thing Max.

The email is (or at least CONTAINS) HTML.  SOME rendering engine renders
whatever it encounters.  In 
this case the email presented has "correct" HTML one time, not another time.
"Correct" is of course 
all relative since "correct" means one thing to IE6, vs IE7, IE8, Firefox or
WHATEVER renderer is 
used in your case etc.

In this case my email client is Thunderbird.

So the email itself contains SOMETHING that my "renderer" cannot handle.
But not EVERY email.  Just 
the other day TWO out of THREE rendered incorrectly (did not show the
graphics), the third displayed 
the pictures.

And what is "incorrect"?  Is it correct if it renders in Outlook but not in
Thunderbird?  Or VV?  It 
is only "correct" if it renders with EVERY SINGLE RENDERING ENGINE thrown
against it.  Not something 
I want to go create, not to mention probably impossible for anything
non-trivial.

According to this next link Thunderbird uses Gecko.

Oh the tangled web we have to sort through.

I want to develop applications.  So far all of my applications have run on
Windows, inside of small 
companies.  "Web based" does not seem to be useful to MY situation.  If it
is useful to yours, you 
have my condolances.
