[thelist] HTML Email

[Steve Cook]

That depends on the client. The majority of well written clients will show
the text part of a multipart email. However some don't! I don't have an
example I'm afraid, but I know that I've had problems in the past with some
text-based email clients.

Another problem that can occur is that some corporate firewalls are set up
to block all multipart emails. A company I used to work with did a test of
this recently and their results are pretty alarming!

As always, you're mileage may vary! Know your users and do all that you can
to allow them to access the content.
