Yes, I love the accessible nature of a long string of non-descript asterisks instead of a simple horizontal rule element.

Email is supposed to be text communication. Web pages are web pages. If you want your email recipients to reliably see web pages nearly as you intend for them to look, have them open them in their web browsers instead of their email clients. Make the email 100% plain text only, and provide in the email a URL to the HTML (and CSS) formatted version on your web host. Most HTML email that arrives here is redirected to the bit bucket, since HTML in email is a highly favored spammer malware delivery method. Whatever HTML email doesn't reach the bit bucket is seen as (big enough to read) plain text anyway, courtesy of my email app, which has been directed to show all messages only as plain text. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
