this is imho a dumb idea. > but yes, i will also say html is not for email, but so many clients have > it as default i have giving up with it, html is designed for webpages I've not given up educating users, and if it weren't for a very few, but very important users that I have yet been unable to educate, I'd be trashing HTML emails on my server without further ado. To all users I explain eg. that not using HTML email makes email safer for them, plugging one big hole for incoming malware. A somewhat recent precedent has been using manipulated images, referenced by a "cid:" link, which works even when the user is offline. And I also explain that they should not to unto their recipients what they don't want to have done unto themselves. Usually this is sufficient that they at least create an exception for me in their address book, if they otherwise want to continue sending HTML emails. Kind regards, --Toni++
