applying styles to email is evil. evil i tell you! in seriousness.... there lacks a good standard for including rich text in email. because of this, what you intend your recipient to see is often not what comes through, unless they're using the same client software on the same OS as you. because of this, some people don't accept email that isn't plain text, and most mailing lists (this one included) block email with styles. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
