My mail client deals just fine with HTML. I don't have my mail client set to automagically parse HTML. I also make sure that when I use a mail client that I don't send out HTML mail. Mail clients read and display text just fine. They even have decent conventions for quoting mail. Attached are html.txt and message.txt message.txt weighs in at 553 bytes html.txt weighs in at 256 bytes If the formatting had added anything of worth, fine. But in this case the text was not marked up. You know, the Markup in Hyper-text Markup Language? Why would you need to markup anyway? Since you are throwing around graceful clients, how graceful is a mail client when it can parse HTML but can't turn a lonely URL into a link? If you notice, the HTML itself sucks sweaty goat balls, all repetitive break tags. If you are sending HTML mail, why again is the mail client using font declarations? Lastly it is a pretty long standing convention to not abuse mailing lists by sending HTML mail. Samir M.

I can get an exact string match in AIX, Linux, HPUX but not in SlowLaris. What I have tried so far, grep -x returns a usages messages /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -x doesnt work grep -e or -E returns a usages message /user/xpg4/bin/grep -e or -E doesnt work grep \string\ doesnt work grep ^"string"$ doesnt work. What I am trying to do is search an environment variable such as PATH to see if a directory already exist in the variable. Anybody figured out how to find exact matches within a string on SlowLaris?
