I just got the current email newsletter and it mentioned the survey I
got a few days ago. Note there was a place to send the survey back,
but nowhere to tell them that the survey was in a bad format.
The organization you hired to do the survey sent me some wierd mixed
text/html that didn't display right on my mail reader (I am sure they
tested it with Outlook 2000 with Javascript enabled, so if I had a CE
device it probably would have worked, but it wouldn't work on a Palm).
There was nothing that needed HTML on the survey, but it managed to
ruin the format of the display.
I have no idea if the edited version I sent back was even decipherable.
It was a really long survey, and I spent a lot of time filling it out,
but don't even know if anyone managed to read it.
The newsletter said that my opinions matter. I had trouble reading
all the questions, and I doubt they could easily read my answers.
They didn't reply that they got it or not, so I really don't know.
Can't Palm find someone to do their surveys who isn't so stupid to
send a text file with HTML turds embedded, or if they are going to use
HTML, create a form with checkboxes and a submit button. They managed
to send the worst of both worlds.
Assuming Palm is interested in my opinion, they should do something
about this. I assume they paid a lot of money for it. Or is Palm
trying to filter out developers who don't use
quasi-damaged-html-capable mailers?
