Re: Sending "pretty" email

Richard - For me you are pointing out one of the dilemmas I face on a daily basis that I call the "fin dilemma". I coined this expression from the era when Detroit put fins on the cars. These did not make the car perfrom better; they only appealed to need to get a car with fins because the neighbor had one. Yet I earn my living by writing software for clients and when I suggest that they use the KISS principle, they tell me that I am not up with the times. There is a very interesting book that I came across at a friend's home addressing effective Web design. Though I cannot remember the authors name, he has done many of the "big name" magazine covers as well as some big name Web sites and he believes in simplicity. Quite a deilemma!!!
