Hello Allie,

JA Not 100% true... you still require the font to be on the other
JA persons computer, and you still require them to read your emails
JA as HTML :) Of course, with courier the chances of it not being
JA there is very slim, but as with TB, you can force mail to appear
JA in just plain text alone.

I cannot edit rich mail in tb am I correct? I completely
understand the font will not be on all computers but the
only type of font needed is a *fixed width font* to be
displayed with respect to my layout.

AM Thanks for clarifying those shortcomings which I agree with but
AM failed to mention myself. :)

AM In the end, specific instructions would likely be needed if you wish
AM to reach all audiences.

I can compose HTML mail with another client and send it over
to the bat, archive it and redirect it from there? It will
still remain its formatting in HTML correct?

Also what is the average size of an HTML letter that will
not get heated the text only enthusiast? I know its a matter
of taste and opinion but average?

I understand and do plan on passing a weblink to the content
but for most of my email issues I do just want to make sure
that a fixed width font will be displayed. Nothing special
like tables, graphics, etc...

AM This is one approach yes. I'd probably do so myself if I were in
AM Victors position. Not because of bloated mail, but because it would
AM more induce the recipient to view the text in their browser.

People are lazy and if I have to make them take one more
step to read my message I might as well lose them. For some
it will not be a problem but you almost always guaranteed
have a cry baby to cry over 1kb.

1kb and not even is what I think the HTML tags will throw
into my message. I hope no one flips out about it.

AM It takes very little HTML markup to convert plain text to HTML
AM format with the only intention being to embed the font face and
AM size.

Yes this is the idea. Nothing fancy just a text message with
a little bit of bold and maybe a dash of italic.

AM HTML mail comes in all sizes and fancy presentations. It even comes
AM with it's plain text version.

Plain text... maybe bold

AM However, I personally don't really have a problem with it once it's
AM used sensibly by 'those in the know'. Those in the know here being
AM those who know the issues with HTML mail and realize that their
AM audience comprise those using clients that support it.

Trial and error from here on till the end my friends :)
Thank you all for your good input, it is because of you all
tbudl is as priceless as it is :)

Happy 2003 :)
