HTML email will have a low acceptance rate regardless. There's a thousand products out there that filters HTML emails simply because they're HTML, and any funky functionality will probably get culled down because its too likely to be spam or a virus. The other problem is your readers either need to be online when reading the email, or you need to attach all the files and client side execute the lot. Client side execution of scripts will get a nono from most mail clients and firewalls and virus checkers etc. There's also the whole, HTML email is the tool of satan and primarily used by his minions, those evil fucks. And it potentially pisses off a large number of people (IE ... Me. If I want pictures and shit, I'll open up IE. If I want email, I want it to look like all the rest of my email, text on aplain background with no bullshit in it. I bloody hate HTML email.) Assuming however that you've got a controlled target audience (IE you're not bulk sending UCE or something) and your target audience will all be reading their email while they're online, with clients that won't filter you out of hand, then you could try just slapping up a form and cfmail script on a webpge and emailing out a frameset that calls the form and processes inside their email window. With any sort of bulk email send when you can't control the clients? Unfortunately you're probably just SOL, the frame method would probably get a better then 50% success rate, but I wouldn't rely on more then 60% of users being able to view your e mail correctly, and probablyno more then 80% recieving it at all.
