Uh, sending email in HTML form is dumb, evil, and simply a bad idea.

Did I mention it's stupid?

And, it might even violate the ADA?  (It certainly violates the
spirit of the ADA!)

Oh, did I mention it takes 3 to 30 times the bandwidth and local storage?

Did I also mention that it disenfranchises some of your potential readers?

DID I MENTION IT WAS A BAD IDEA?

Stan (hmmph!) Sieler :)
