just found out at work we do send out plain text and HTML versions (and
they have me do plain-txt version also in addition to the HTML when am
cutting them from PS mockups..)
I have one more question, however, which is that when I go to HTML page
in IE and do file --> send --> page by email, MS Outlook sends it as an
attachment, not as page you can see in body of email.. (I don't know
how they send their g'zillion marketing and newsletter emails here, but
at least I would like to test them like this..)
in FF there's no send-pg option, just file --> send link... (??)
many thanks to all for your responses..
