RE: [WSG] Fwd: links dont work in ie6

Re: [WSG] HTML email - mac testers please

Apple's Mail.app is probably going to be the most used program for OS X users. Since the Jaguar edition of OS X (10.2) it's used WebKit for the rendering, which is the KHTML engine used in Safari. If I remember right, Jaguar users are limited to Safari 1.0, and Panther has 1.1 and 1.2
