<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>When I had AOL and wasn't
online to read my mail, just downloaded it and shut it off, HTML messages were a
nightmare for me. They were either filled with gobbledygook, wouldn't
download because it was in MIME format and AOL had no idea what that
was, or duplication of text in the e-mail. It is hard for
me to remember now, it has been years ago... It could have just been
AOL 5.0 and now that they are up to 9.0, it is all under control, who
knows. That was my only issue with HTML in e-mail.</FONT></DIV>

Express and have broadband, I am a happy camper.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hey all. I hope everyone has had a great new year so far.<BR><BR>I
question was raise regarding the fact that the donation<BR>drive message I
sent this weekend was HTML instead of the<BR>usual text. Here is some of
it...<BR><BR>The donation email was HTML and text (MIME encoded).
If<BR>you have an HTML reader, it probably looked like only HTML.<BR><BR>I
think the HTML version of the funnies looks better, but<BR>there are down
sides to HTML:<BR><BR>1. SPAM blockers tend to block HTML messages more
often.<BR><BR>2. The emails are usually bigger. If it has both HTML
and<BR>text it is at least twice as big, but text only reads can<BR>still read
it too.<BR><BR>3. Some people just don't like HTML messages (still in
the<BR>stone-ages? Not sure).<BR><BR>1 & 2 are issues that I can live
with. 3 is still really<BR>the only thing keeping me from just switching to
HTML. I<BR>want to make it so you can choose what format you want
to<BR>get them in. When I get that setup, I will probably make<BR>the
switch.<BR><BR>I have bigger things I want to get done first, though,
so<BR>this will be on the back burner for some time I imagine.<BR><BR>So, I
wanted to post this here and see if any of you had<BR>any thoughts on the
subject.<BR><BR>Anyone? Anyone? No? Yes? :)<BR><BR>-
John</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
