My biggest problem with sending an html confirmation email was with
Eudora. I tested the email in several different email programs
(Outlook, Outlook Express, Gmail) with html enabled and without and
thought I had it working, then someone with Eudora complained they were
getting "garbli-goop" (meaning they were seeing all the html tags). I
had to install Eudora and make several tweaks before I got it to work!

I am not sure what exactly you are asking, but I have been sending out
opt-in HTML emails for the last 2 years...
My advice, if you want your email to work in all standard browsers:
Use NESTED tables for layout (no colspan, rowspan), and only use CSS for
embellishment, and make sure it's inline (for gmail)
I am not saying this as a cop-out. Every time I make a table-based
email I
die a little :(
Anyhow, hope this helps.
