Dave is correct - scripting is out for e-mail messages - way too many
variables to test for and manage, assuming you can even test. We've
developed a way to allow the code to 'gracefully degrade' from fully
scripted embedding of the OBJECT tag, to showing a standard jpg image,
that works on almost all platforms.  But, if I can't get remote data,
none of this matters any more.

Matt is also right - there's no way we can embed the flash content in
the e-mail.  I can't send a 400k e-mail to 50k people.  The users don't
mind some load time as there is a lot of static info that goes with it.
However, people would (literally?) kill me if it took 30+ seconds to
download the message itself.

Even using base64 for the URI values, it's still external data, and
won't load.  I don't currently see any way to do this, so I'm hoping
that either MS gives in and buys a license, or, Eolas gets beat down in
court, before the new browser versions come out.  Either way is fine
with me :)
