9 months ago, text was still king. Today, 80-85% of our subscribers
are using either AOL, or one of the two browsers version 4 or 5. Nine
months ago, about 20% were using a version 4 browser.
And with version 4 browsers, styled text (meaning, generally, HTML)
went mainstream.
Fortunately, it seems to me the big technological leap in e-mail is
slowing down so everyone can consolidate gains (and losses) and fix
the glitches in the technologies (which definitely exist. My test
group for my new mail server, which is pretty small, has uncovered
some interesting tweaks. For instance, OE 5 sends HTML mail using
HTML 4 and CSS, but Navigator 4 reads HTML, but can't read the CSS,
so even between HTML capable browssers, there are disconnects. But
that's no different than the general HTML disconnects that make being
a web designer so much fun today)
Over the last four months the most common question has gone from
"what is this stuff?" to "why *can't* I post it?"....
