Tip from a longtime Eudora user who's recently seen the Thunderbird light: you can set Eudora (on Windows at least) to use IE as it's rendering engine, which makes is basically equivalent to Outlook (pre 2007). CSS support was therefore pretty good for email. If you just want to get your CEO off your back I'd get him to switch to that option in Eudora - it'll improve all the other html email he gets no end as well. Quick how-to (for Eudora 6.2): 1) Go to Tools > Options... 2) From the list of categories on the left, choose "Viewing Mail" 3) Under 'Message Window' tick the box "Use Microsoft's Viewer". I used to find some HTML email does still got messed up, but I'm pretty sure that's down to malformed HTML and not a CSS problem. I believe the Eudora team are completely rewriting it to use Thunderbird as a base, so if you can get your CEO to upgrade once that's done your life may also get easier.. -- Sophie Dennis, Creative Director Cayenne Web Development Limited www.cayenne.co.uk ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
