Not any more... if that were true, Sprint, Verizon, and everyone else wouldn't be jumping through hoops trying to accommodate photos, video, graphics, and HTML email into their capabilities and there wouldn't be so much HTML generated by spammers. (Except for the poor people in Ethiopia, who apparently can't afford to put graphics in their offerings of $25,000,000.00 dollars if I'll let them use my bank account. :o) We're a visual world now, not a textual world. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 5:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation? > For well-designed HTML messages that wouldn't be an issue. > The colors, backgrounds, and images would always enhance the > message, not detract from it. Have you heard of Sturgeon's Law? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon's_law Why would HTML mail be exempt? > Why not just use word messages on TV instead of video/audio > for commercials? Because that, like HTML mail, is a poor use of the medium. TV is a visual medium. Email is a textual medium. You don't know how people will read their email, either. HTML mail looks like crap on anything except a standard computer.
