It's not a complex HTML designer. It gives you enough formatting ability so that you can get the basics done. It means that, with Microsoft Entourage, I never have to worry about someone using it with network bugs, etc. I'm actually disappointed that I can't kill the Word features, but cest la vie. If you need very complex formatting, use something designed for it and send the email as an attachment. I can tell you that at my company, we've adopted a policy of summarily bouncing mail with any <a> links in the email as a security/anti-spam procedure. We don't reject 'normal' links, i.e. http://www.bynkii.com/ inline. And I can tell you we aren't the only ones. So far, no complaints from associates or clients, and our spam count has gone waaay down. > > Why DO fonts change sizes between Word and Entourage? That just makes no > sense.
