Question EUMX.net has changed just recently

EUMX.net does not support higher format composition anymore!
That is via OWM!

Is it because I am using IE 8?

Anyone else complaining?

It seems that they finally upgraded their systems to OWM 3.0.
Have you tried using any other a bit more modern browser and test if the problem occurs?

What is higher format composition? HTML? EUMX OWM is still at 2.53 from what I can tell (I just logged in and both HTML/HTML and Text options are still available).

It looks the old homepage is still pointing to v2.53. The new one is pointing to OWM v3.00 (finally! ). The direct link is https://ssl.eumx.net/cgi-bin/owm3b4/openwebmail.pl And yes, HTML editor in all browsers.

The first (and so far only) difference I noticed is that it opens slower than the old version. Does anybody have anything positive to say about OWM v3.00 ??

Compose Editor Font and Draft Saving

One welcome change I just noticed: With the previous version, the default compose font was Arial 8pt. Even my recipients with good eyesight don't like font that small! But there was no way to change the default size in Preferences. It always - and I mean always - needed to be changed for each message.

With version 3, even though there is apparently still no way to specify a preferred default font family & size, at least it appears to be set at a more comfortable Arial 11pt.

Unfortunately, with regard to draft saving: from what I can see there's still 1) no auto-saving of drafts (is there?), 2) no way to save by using keystrokes Ctrl + S (instead one must click the 'save draft' button), 3) no way turn off the annoying pop-up confirmation when saving a draft, 4) an auto-refreshing of the page after draft saving, which brings you back to the top of the draft requiring you to scroll down again to the point where one wishes to resume composing.

  • Full week view in the calendar.
  • Auto-complete as-you-type email addresses during message compose.
  • HTML compose.
  • New silk icon set. (personally I like the combination adjunct style/silk icons)
  • Contact details as a popup.
  • Mark as read/mark as unread.
