I know, at least for me, this discussion is very needed and has been educational! -----Original Message----- From: Bader, Terrence C CTR MARMC, 231 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 4:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation? Actually using that, 90% of all mail is crap. Not just HTML email, but email period. Which is true; just look at me spam folder. lol for that matter look at this topic... its going way, way over the deep end and into the sh!tter. ~Terry -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 16:29 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation? > For well-designed HTML messages that wouldn't be an issue. > The colors, backgrounds, and images would always enhance the message, > not detract from it. Have you heard of Sturgeon's Law? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon's_law Why would HTML mail be exempt? > Why not just use word messages on TV instead of video/audio for > commercials? Because that, like HTML mail, is a poor use of the medium. TV is a visual medium. Email is a textual medium. You don't know how people will read their email, either. HTML mail looks like crap on anything except a standard computer.
