Brady,
I beg to differ with your opinion of the eBay HTML email that he Stefan Ott attached. You say that it was coded using old standards, I'm sure you're right, but for a good reason. I tried using <div> tags for layout instead of <table> tags with horrendous display in RoundCube. It looked good in other clients. I submitted a post about this earlier to the dev list, but no one responded.
Not related to RoundCube, but try coding all design and layout using a stylesheet with no inline HTML attributes and viewing it in gmail or other another popular webmail. Outlook and AppleMail display the output okay for the most part, except the links don't get the same treatment that they would in IE or FireFox... For real kicks, try kMail for KDE.
I always code my HTML email pages plain vanilla HTML 2.0 circa 1995 fashion for the above reasons. Using 'style' attributes inline with HTML tags seems to work okay in the clients I've tested as well as long as you don't use 'class' or 'id' attributes it seems to work well.

Hi,
I use Roundcube 0.1beta and I have problems with E-Mails from eBay. I only get a blank page, with all other html mails it works. I attached the

of an eBay mail maybe someone can figure it out what causes this problem.
Thanks steve`
Aside from the fact that, even for HTML email which is behind the standards times, that HTML looks like a 5 year old coded it -- the rendering of all html is based on the browser you are using -- what browser is that?
