Unless the recipient has the same E-mail application that you have, it is possible the recipient's application does not handle HTML the same way your application handles it. It is also possible that the recipient has set an option to display E-mail as plain-text. Last month, I studied a number of HTML-formatted messages I had received and discovered that they contained an average of 6 HTML syntax errors per thousand bytes of file-size. I would suspect that SeaMonkey (using the same mailnews core as Thunderbird, based on Gecko) might generate HTML-formatted messages that are close to error-free. However, a different E-mail application that creates HTML-formatted messages with significant HTML syntax errors might also have problems correctly displaying HTML-formatted messages. My solution is to create a Web page and upload it to my ISP's Web server. Then send a brief E-mail message with a link to that page. -- David E. Ross The Crimea is Putin's Sudetenland.
