Hi Eric,

the attachments have reached me offlist and I will add them to our
samples on our ftp-server along with your browser.

Unfortunately I do not get any images here (Windows 98 SE) and the
hyperlinks in the text do not work either. I tried to access a number of
different websites, among them www.metacard.com and www.runrev.com.
I will check whether the situation is different with Windows 2000, XP,
and MacOS 10.2.4, but all I get here is text, and even that does not
work for specific web sites - the text of our own website
(http://www.uni-kassel.de) -  as I already mentioned - cannot  be
displayed in your browser and it cannot be displayed with htmltext in
other Metacard stacks.
