the settings in squid.conf would just indicate which info to
include if available, some if-defined-conditions when converting
%w to the email address would then check if the enabled info is
defined at all, and if so, adds it to the body string.

what i meant is this:
http://www.psychotekk.de/menu.htm
http://www.psychotekk.de/menu2.htm
msie6.0 and mozilla1.1a (so netscape7.0b1) mess up the second
version that contains the reference to the dtd.

i agree, what i would change next in a html doc is the link color,
but squid's err docs are so small, i think the current one-liner does
