Description

The ICONS resource is used to specify the icons that represent the different content-types of messages.

The ICON resource can only be defined via the resource file element. The format of each line in the ICONS element is as follows:

content-type:URL-for-icon

content-type represents a MIME content-type. URL-for-icon is the URL to the icon. The special content-type called "unknown" may be defined to specify the icon to use for non-recognized content-types. If unknown is not defined, the text/plain icon is used for unknown content types.

In order to have icons appear in your pages, use the $ICON$ resource variable. For example:

<LiTemplate>
$ICON$ <strong>$SUBJECT:40$</strong>
<em>$FROMNAME$</em><br>
</LiTemplate>

The $ICON$ variable expands to the IMG HTML element with the appropriate URL in the SRC attribute to the icon. The ALT attribute of the IMG element contains the content-type of the message, surrounded by []'s, for use with text based browsers.

The $ICONURL$ resource variable may be used if you want redefine the format of the IMG element. For example:

<LiTemplate>
<img src="$ICONURL$" alt="*">
<strong>$SUBJECT:40$</strong>
<em>$FROMNAME$</em><br>
</LiTemplate>

The example overrides what is normally used in the ALT attribute.

Default Setting

Nil.
