It is also important to remember that the majority of our html recipients will still be OE/OL users. We want to give them a good experience as a recipient of our messages, not one that clashes with everything they do with OE. IOW, we don't want to get in a formatting war...we'll lose no mater how correct we may be. > TO ALL: if you remember, in my New Year greeting, I was asking if > somebody wants to write an essay about proper HTML messaging (let's > disregard the opinion it should not be used at all - it is too > idealistic ). Does anybody has any thoughts about it? Stefan, I'd love to be a part of this as long as it remains an open essay. I'd hate to have my essay or another's essay chosen for use if it disagrees with many TB users opinions. With that in mind, I'd propose a separate temporary mailing list, message board, or the like so as not to clutter the ones in place or force those who wish to participate be hard pressed to locate all pertinent messages. For the final usage of whatever is compiled, I'd suggest a pop-up or bubble tip type display instead of an essay. I doubt people migrating from OE would read such an essay. But let's say they click the button to set their font color and a bubble pops up reminding them that setting a color may prevent recipients with similar background colors from properly viewing their masterpiece. Of course, TB users should have the ability to globally disable these tips. -- Best regards, James [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stamp-co.com The Bat! v.1.63 Beta/6 Windows XP build 2600 AMD Athlon 1Ghz 1.0 Gb RAM ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 1.63b6 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
