Re: HTML in Email

Hi Zvi,

The subject of sending out HTML in email was discussed recently on another
list that I am on, and the resounding response was...don't do it !! A lot
of people see it as spam and in most of the cases where I have received it,
that's exactly what it was. I even got a *huge* porn graphic on one
occasion which immediately went to SpamCop ...:) 

Now, if your client has his heart set on it, I guess you have to go along
with it...but, personally, the minute I see html coming in, it hits the
trash. I just *know* that somebody is trying to sell me something and if
your client is going to send it out in the hope of finding new customers,
he could well find himself without an ISP if his HTML is seen as spam.

As I said...just a thought.
