two things...
1) actually there is no such things as a SimpleHTML.prefs used, it's called
SimpleHTML.config
2) If you use TTF fonts and have installed the MSFonts (Arial etc.) the trouble
is that SimpleHTML will use those TTF fonts and the HTML mail will ask for them
in such a size that it is unreadable on the amiga (OS4 will probably have better
luck), the solution would be to have simplehtml not allow sizes under a certain
size or
update the SimpleHTML to handle <FONT SIZE=xx> fully
for instance this
<FONT SIZE="-2" FACE="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Retrieve
email using your device<BR>
($49.99)</FONT>
is getting translated to a unreadable Verdana font in size 9 if you have
the MS Fonts installed, SimpleHTML does not support negative sizes in the
SimpleHTML.config file (in any logical way atleast).
this is how my SimpleHTML.config looks like
H1=TimesNewRomanPS/40
H2=TimesNewRomanPS/36
H3=TimesNewRomanPS/32
H4=TimesNewRomanPS/28
H5=TimesNewRomanPS/24
H6=TimesNewRomanPS/20
H7=TimesNewRomanPS/20
NORMAL-3=Arial/20
BORMAL-2=Arial/20
NORMAL-1=Arial/20
NORMAL1=Arial/20
NORMAL2=Arial/24
NORMAL3=Arial/28
NORMAL4=Arial/32
NORMAL5=Arial/36
NORMAL6=Arial/40
NORMAL7=Arial/48
FIXED1=Courier/20
FIXED2=Courier/24
FIXED3=Courier/28
FIXED4=Courier/32
FIXED5=Courier/36
FIXED6=Courier/40
FIXED7=Courier/48
ARIAL1=Arial/20
ARIAL2=Arial/24
ARIAL3=Arial/28
ARIAL4=Arial/32
ARIAL5=Arial/36
ARIAL6=Arial/40
ARIAL7=Arial/48
TAHOMA1=Tahoma/20
TAHOMA2=Tahoma/24
TAHOMA3=Tahoma/28
TAHOMA4=Tahoma/32
TAHOMA5=Tahoma/36
TAHOMA6=Tahoma/40
TAHOMA7=Tahoma/48
VERDANA-3=Verdana/20
VERDANA-2=Verdana/20 <- this has no effect whatsoever
VERDANA-1=Verdana/20
VERDANA1=Verdana/20
VERDANA2=Verdana/24
VERDANA3=Verdana/28
VERDANA4=Verdana/32
VERDANA5=Verdana/36
VERDANA6=Verdana/40
VERDANA7=Verdana/48
SANS-SERIF1=Arial/20
SANS-SERIF2=Arial/24
SANS-SERIF3=Arial/28
SANS-SERIF4=Arial/32
SANS-SERIF5=Arial/36
SANS-SERIF6=Arial/40
SANS-SERIF7=Arial/48
SERIF1=TimesNewRomanPS/20
SERIF2=TimesNewRomanPS/24
SERIF3=TimesNewRomanPS/28
SERIF4=TimesNewRomanPS/32
SERIF5=TimesNewRomanPS/36
SERIF6=TimesNewRomanPS/40
SERIF7=TimesNewRomanPS/48
