If your customer sends out these newsletters from his own mailserver, chances are that his mailserver becomes blacklisted. Even if the messages are legit, some people think otherwise. The result of this is, that his whole domain becomes blocked, so his business can't send normal e-mail from this domain anymore to people who use blacklists. This has nothing to do with your question about programming it in PHP etc., but I do want you to notice these impacts. On the PHP/HTML part, make your layout as strict as possible. Every e-mail client parses the HTML differently and Outlook 2007 even went back to Word HTML compatibility which is a pain in the bottom to get it right. Building good, solid templates for newsletters is not something I would like to build for any customer. -- Aschwin Wesselius /'What you would like to be done to you, do that to the other'/
