Not wishing to get into a flame war, but many people on the net strongly object to HTML e-mail, and it's banned from many lists. That's why HTML-enabled clients have an option to turn it off. <RANT> Text is the universal format readable on all mailreaders. It's adequate for expressing all thoughts. Emphasis can be done with *bold*, _italic/underline_, or SHOUTING. If the message needs to be HTML for another purpose (e.g., so it can be pasted into a web page without reformatting), it wants to be an attachment with a text summary. </RANT> If those aren't convincing enough reasons, some people will assume that an HTML message is spam and delete it. Maybe they'll give it a quick glance first, but, not finding the beginning of the text among the sea of style definitions and tables, they'll just give up and delete it. -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
