Subject: RE: yahoo groups destroying mail-archive.com formatting ? unreadable) - can anything be done? - msg#00003

Yikes, thanks for reporting that Barry.

That's actually my fault. I was annoyed at Yahoo embedding their "sponsored
links" boxes repeatedly into their yahoogroups messages (and it technically
puts us in violation of google's terms of service with our text ad) and was
attempting to regex them out. The regex'ing worked fine on all the samples I
tested, but it looks like you found some big flaws.

I've temporarily disabled my regex until I get the proper fix in.

Thanks!

Subj: [Gossip] yahoo groups destroying mail-archive.com formatting
(unreadable) - can anything be done?

(well, I'm guessing it's because of yahoo groups...)

large sections (sometimes almost all) of the email ends up not being
displayed

for an example, start here and follow the thread

http://mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com/msg28282.html

there's a long conversation going on here but the only thing displayed
are greetings....


another example: this is a reply, missing the bulk of the message
http://mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com/msg28280.html
while this is a reply to the above but showing the origional mesaage,
not truncated.
http://mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com/msg28286.html

is there anything that can be done?

thanx
b
