Hi, Ray!
Eudora doesn't recommend HTML because it could lead to viruses. Since this
can't happen with text only, Eudora advises not using HTML.
At 12:20 08/03/06, Ray's Home typed furiously:
On several email lists from time to time, and too many to give specific
mentions here, I've noted comments on the supposed unacceptability of HTML
formatted emails on lists that accept them. Why is this?
I know well that Text Email Fundamentalists as I think of them will
thunder at the waste of space caused by HTML on email lists. While
there's no getting away from the fact that HTML formatting does take up
more space, important in a list circulating context, is there any reason,
as such, to deplore HTML on grounds of accessibility? If such an email is
less than perfectly accessible it is so only in the sense that a web page
is less than accessible. So, the inaccessibility is in the coding, not in
the fact of the committing of the sin of HTML.
I ask this question because if I am ever asked by small organisations I
sometimes work with informally what is best practice, I cannot, in all
conscience, say HTML in emails is a definite no go area. What's your thoughts?
