      Now all you need is hamsters with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. Or maybe lightsaber whiskers.

        It's days like this I need a white, long haired cat sitting on my lap while while my finger hovers over a large red button on the arm of my tall-backed leather chair in my command post in the depths of an extinct volcanic hideaway. sigh...

                Why would I post a rant in QA? Working around the issue is easy. Finding willing and eager sets of ears to hear my ranting is harder. Guys? Guys?? Where'd everyone go... :sigh:

                Yes but you really should have posted on the Moderators rants forums which is much more appropriate. To get there, hold shift+m while clicking the lounge button.

                  I'm sending out an HTML email with the following:

                  <img style="width:628px;height:7px" alt="" src="http://www.codeproject.com/images/image.png">

                  Fairly standard. Except that GMail renders it as

                  <img style="width:628px;min-height:7px" alt="" src="http://www.codeproject.com/images/image.png">

                  So instead of showing the image 7px high, it shows it "at least" 7px high, where "at least" has been interpreted to be "11245px". 11,000 pixels. That's slightly more than 7. ARGH! WHY?! ARRRRRRRGH!!

                  Chris, I just wanted you to know I logged onto CP just to post this response in regards to your dilemma; which shows you just how much I care. All that said, I'd just like to say: HA HA.

                          I'm all about the ranting. Your ranting is met with fives and my ranting is met with middle fingers. Do the math. :laugh: -- It's good to see you out and about in the forums; keeps up morale.
