Not me prsonally, but I was developing HTML mails to be snt to

The HTML was, I thought, if th simplest. In firefox it was perfct. OE
couldn't even manage to get th image displayed at all.

Hmm, I have any HTML display/reading capability turned off here. I'm
just interested in the information being sent, not lots of logos, colour
and flashy graphics...



Well, yes and no.

It wasnt flashy graphics, Just a delivery note.I could have created a
PDF, and sent that as an attachment, but I reasoned that a very simple
HTML would be as good an not require anything special from the other end.

Most mail clients *accept* HTML...you can control what you send, but not
what is displayed.

A good enough reason, IMHO, *not* to use HTML in emails.

I *always* turn off HTML email viewing BTW. If someone really needs
flashy graphics then this can be sent in a suitable attachment.
