[thelist] Flash in e-mail

[Steve Cook]

The usual caveats regarding support of html apply to this - only more so!
There is no doubt in my mind that sending a flash movie in mail will result
in a negative response from some users. It is important to take in mind your
client's customer base, their potential technical level (web server logs can
be some help in this) and try and make sure that the mail will default to
being something useful for anyone whose mail client *doesn't* read HTML or
who doesn't have the Flash plug-in installed.

*Personally*, I'd recommend against it for the same reason that at my
company we tell our users not to open attachments that they aren't sure
about. I like to encourage users to be cautious of attached content in email
and I would (again, my personal opinion) recommend my client against doing
this.

I hope this is some help anyway.
