I do mind that it's animated. A lot. I think its just 3 frames on a constant loop. Yeah, a _constant_ loop. I know some sites have policies that they won't accept animated ads and many companies will create animated and non-animated versions. If you can do that, I know that I'd appreciate it. > 3.

I've dealt with that. It looks though that since every browser handles quoting of html text differently that there is going to be a lot more inconsistency in replies to the list. I know that quoting has really always been up to the client, but with plain text there was at least a convention almost all clients followed. Now even if I switch to text-only, I'm still going to see the fallout of everyone else's email client. (Note that even though I've switched to text-only for this message, it didn't know how to convert it from the original HTML quoted text.) > 4. Trying to quote inline in html is an exercise in frustration. The only HTML is the footer. All of the rest of the text is plain text. While the only explicit HTML tags are in the footer, the entire message is wrapped in , thus making it all HTML. Sorry to bitch. I just liked my cozy text blanket instead of the html hairshirt. :-) -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:5:89074 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm --_NextPart_000_1063808017_CFX_iMSMail_132875024 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" whats the problem with animated ads?
