ok ... so the reason it sucks is because the tools you work with aren't powerful
enough to work with it?!?! Come on ... thats a bit short sighted isn't it? With an
attitude like that we would still be using 8.3 filenames !!!!

|| back to their website and thereby 'verify' your address if you open it
|| before you delete it).
For Javascript. HTML emails do not mean Javascript. In any decent email client
(Outlook included) you can turn all this off ... its just that M$ takes the approach
that everything should be open to begin with and leave it to the user to close off.
Which i suspect if it was the otherway round, we wouldn't have had half the problems
So ... you still haven't given me a good reason for saying HTML Emails suck.
