Isn't there a way to determine whether or not the client gets an HTML or
text version? I seem to recall that a newsletter I used to get got sent
to
my school address (when I was in college) as plain text, yet the one
that
came to my Comcast email was HTML.... How did they do that?

CSS can be tricky. I tend to use Element-level styles (BODY, TD, P,

to preserve the period in the class notation. If formatting is an

I've had to add CFMAILPARAMs to HTML emails as some email clients
don't seem to recognize CFMAIL messages as HTML by default:
<cfmailparam name="Mime-Version" value="1.0">
<cfmailparam name="content-type" value="text/html">

You'll have to code to the least common denominator to ensure that the
message looks the same for everyone; which could mean using plain text
instead of--or in addition to--HTML.

If you're not on the recipient's 'white list', there's not much you
can do. Addressing the message directly to the person will help, but
in the end you can't force your message into their inbox--which is a
good thing! Also, it seems that sender address verification (SAV) is
becoming more common, so make sure that the 'from' address is a
legitimate email account.
