You might be able to do that, Terry, (and so could I) but most HTML email clients sure can't. Do you get email from, say, yahoo mail users? A one or two sentence message runs around 13-16KB usually. Here's a small snippet from a four-sentence message I got yesterday via yahoogroups. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> <html> <head> </head> <body style="background-color: #fff;"> <span style="display:none"> </span> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStartT|**|-~--> <div id="ygrp-mlmsg" style="position:relative;"> <div id="ygrp-msg" style="z-index: 1;"> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlEndT|**|-~--> <div id="ygrp-text" > <p>Hello All,<br> ... The 302 lines of *styling* were in a second <head> section after all the HTML and content! Oh, and viewing the email in HTML, it is just the four lines in the Georgia font. No other formatting was applied by the sender. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
