Hi gang; This is slightly off topic, but back in the days when I used to use Eudora I recall that in between the options for sending email either as Plain Text or as HTML, there was a middle option: Rich Text. As I remember it, this allowed basic text formatting (Bold, italic, increase size etc) but not the full gamut of HTML options (such as inserting rules, pictures and so on).
I'm currently in an emailshot situation where being able to bolden headings would be an advantage. (Don't worry, this isn't one of those postings where the writer starts demanding HTML output from PM; if I do it I'll use Mail). However, one of the things that always crops up in those HTML vs Plain Text arguments is the point that many companies reject HTML mail on grounds of it being potentially harmful spam. My question, therefore, (you knew I'd get around to it eventually, right?) is this: Does Rich Text email suffer from the same fate. If I were to send out promotional email with bold headings, would there be the same chance of it being rejected at server level by the receiving company as there would be if I had sent a full-on, look-like-a-web-page HTML email? Not really a PM question, I know, but it is an email question, and maybe someone has experience in this matter? Any wisdom would be gratefully received.
