Re: Flare output overwriting custom body tag

Hi, again. Good thoughts all. I did indeed submit a bug asking if there was some way Flare could "keep its laws off my body tag"! :wink:. MC Support tried several workarounds, but no real fix for that. In the meantime, we've written a routine that loops through the output & replaces th...
