RE: [PHP] Re: HTML E-mails

Richard, Look I am one of those people who hate Microsoft etc, and Linux is far better. But what is wrong with HTML email? Why not have some colour and style in an email. It's like a letter, and u can have nice paper. If it is about Linux programs, some can read HTML email. If we cant have some colour and style, then computers will end up being only for Gurus. Say Windows XP, ok perhaps there are bugs but the GUI is sooo nice, so intuitive that my 80 year old grandma is learning to use it. Just think it's rude that people would just delete an email because of using HTML will most mail programs send by default these days!
