Re: Html question

It will be quite a high percentage, probably not as high as 95% though.
However, most 'business people' in medium to large organisations will
probably be running Outlook, logging in to an exchange server. Here, if they
have been kept reasonably up to date, automatic display of inline images
will probably be blocked.

Subject: Re: Html question

Thanks for great reply Barry.

I'm going to go with your strategy. It's an important question as I'm a
photographer and these are e mail promos being sent to thousands of
potential clients down the road.

What percentage of business people have a client that shows attachment? My
guess -- 95%, am I wrong?

I'm very ignorant of html thing.
If you send attachment do most people see them in body of text these days?
What percentage? If it's most, then now don't have to use the html option
correct? Thanks

Attachments to plain text may or may not show up in the message viewing
window - it all depends on the capabilities of the client. Many (entourage,
eudora, outlook express) display the image 'in-line' under the message text,
but by no means all clients do this.

If having it display in the message window is important, then HTML is a
safer bet, but even then, there are many clients that don't display HTML at
all, and many others that may hide images from untrusted sources.

Best (and politest) method is to send plain text, with an attachment. Every
proper email client should be able to handle that, most likely int he way
your recipient prefers, rather than in the way that you think they should.
