[thelist] Receving HTML email

[Steve Cook]

Sure! A company I used to work for recently posted this article regarding
their investigations into the use of HTML email
http://www.bluewave.com/about_us/wavelength/mn_wave_natasha_barnett.html

Amongst their finding were that many large companies block all HTML
formatted email at the server, which sent back no error message to the
sending company. The mail in effect just disappeared and no-one was the
wiser. If the majority of your clients are corporates then this would appear
to be a potential problem.

I think it's interesting reading.
