RE: [DUG]: Emailing Invoices

The biggest problem with HTML is printing, unless the CSS2 printing standards are used. Far better to use PDF. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nic Wise Sent: Tuesday, 23 October 2001 15:14 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: Re: [DUG]: Emailing Invoices HTML gets displayed by pretty much anything, and it comes up nice in outlook express and the like.
