Hi all.
When trying to process mail quarantine with a text-only browser (lynx, links), i cannot see anything useful.
The only thing that appears is the Header of a page but no entries for the emails and no possibility to process mails that are under quarantine.

Therefore, visually impaired persons are unable to work with mails under quarantine.

Is there any configuration available to show a text-only overview on quarantined emails ?

Best regards
Andreas

the quarantine interface (actually the complete pmg interface) relies heavily on javascript.
Sadly I'm not too familiar with the current state of javascript support in text only browsers but a quick search points to the following potential solutions:
http://www.sysadminguide.net/text-browser-with-javascript/
https://www.brow.sh/
https://edbrowse.org/

In general we use modern javascript features in our frontend code (and support Firefox, Safari, Chrome (and derivatatives) in their most recent version) - so I'm not sure how these will work.

Alternatively - you can get the information from the API:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_API (the api of PVE and PMG are quite similar (just replace all occurrences of PVE with PMG)
https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/api-viewer/index.html
or if you have ssh-access to pmg you can also use `pmgsh` to get the data

finally you can always just adapt your rules to not use the quarantine (and instead adapt the subject of the mails which have a higher spamscore)

I hope this helps!
