I wish that were a response I could provide to the client - they've been
doing it this way for years (and because IE provides it, it must be OK :o/
).  Now that I'm repurposing the site, some of the stuff breaks.  I already
provide a psuedo-tinyurl links at the bottom of each page from my CMS.  And
since 90% of the business world unfortunately uses IE, I have to make some
accomodation.


Thanks,
Mark

Subject: Re: [css-d] IE Send A Page

It sounds to me like Firefox has it correct - there is no reason I would
ever want a page of html in my email when that content lives on a web
server.  If the argument is that it enables people to send intranet pages
via email, then I ask why violate security methodology when you could just
make the intranet publically accessible and call it an "extranet" (or some
other buzzword)

I would try to convince principle parties involved that if they are trying
to send an "as is" 
experience, they should "print" to a pdf driver and send it as an
attachment.  (but then you get the job of automating that too, right?)
