John,

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: From: John Sherman

: Well, I've heard that if one does not do it, email
: clients that are HTML enabled may render the
: example tags as an HTML document.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is not a problem if the message is sent in plain text only.  However,
aol users who use aol's non-standards compliant email client will do all
sorts of nasty things with your html examples.  however, adding things to
your posted example code to keep their client from running it only makes
others that are reading your code confused and make it more difficult to
find the problems in your code.  ultimately . . . it's not worth it to post
anything but the actual example code.

good luck,

.jeff
