Since nobody seems to be focusing on the technical aspect of
this...here goes.
The "right" way to do HTML email is to send the email as a multipart
mime message, with one part being text/html and the other part being a
plain text version of the message. This way, if the mailer
understands the text/html mime type, it will display the html message
and if it doesn't it should display the text.
Cheers,
Pat
