If you can't state your problem with your words, all the
ransom-note typography and hopping smileys will not help your case.
Oh. So is that why the nannies say no to rich text?
In part.
HTML-based emails (which is what rich text be) is the biggest boon to
the criminals since the 'net itself, I think. It lets them hide so
many things - urls, viruses, etc.
But more importantly... Rich text just looks nasty. What you're
creating may look ok *to you* *on your particular computer screen*
*with your font* *with your font size* but it doesn't look that way
to anyone else! You need to be considerate of your audience. If all
of your readers are fine with such, then go for it. But if any of
them have different equipment or -especially- any visual problems,
you're screwing them over. Is that your intention? You want to get
technical assistance by making your reader's eyes bleed?
FWIW,
