Here's my list of arguments: 1) You're only sending an email here. Markups are completely redundant. All this HTML only waste space and bandwidth. 2) HTML mail with hardcoded fontnames look horrible in my Linux emailclient. 3) HTML mail can contain script viruses. 4) HTML mail mess up the archives. When you try to see a message in the archive, you see all the HTML code instead of the email! Also read this page! http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil.shtml |
