Here's one: Do any of your customers have Unix based email systems? Plain text will work 100%
Regards, � Sander � -----Original Message----- From: Tim Gowen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22 January 2003 10:35 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Justifying text-only Internet Mail I'm about to have to justify my personal belief that e-mail should be text-only and no HTML-based messages should go out from my Exchange 5.5 server. Unfortunately I'm up against a Marketing department who want to send the sort of message that I hate getting - one that downloads extra content from another site. My official reasons for opposing this, apart from my personal dislike of it, are: 1. Security: You can execute malicious code with HTML mail whereas plain text is simple 2. Presentation: It's better to link to a page so the user can click on the link and open their own browser. 3. Compatibility: People who receive these messages but not in the correct way will phone the people who sent them, who will phone me. This seems a little wooly to me, so I'd appreciate some good coherent arguments for text-only e-mail. Tim -- Tim Gowen RAF Museum IT Dept.
