The most effective way to get your point across is to use straight-forward
English (or whatever language your target speaks) and avoid all the crap glitz
and glitter. If you can't express what you wish without all the clap-trap,
you need to be in another field. Besides, Microsoft has had white papers
published that explain just how to rewrite your HTML so that it looks good
either way.

Ah, but that's the point of "e-marketing": fluff the message without
adding any real content. It's the same stupidity embraced by Incredimal
users.

Do I want Outlook to use Word as its HTML composer? No. However, I
certainly would NOT want all the crap that Free Outlook <blah blah> user
wants us recipients to see.

We're supposed to care about an idiot that uses Word to compose web-
style pages that they expect every e-mail client to render as though it
were a web browser. Sure, uh huh. They already know that their
recipients will NOT visit their link in their e-mail to go fully render
their "message" in a web browser so they want to spew their junk inside
the e-mail. The result of their push is us users trying to figure out
how to eliminate all that crap, with some user deciding on a "fuck 'em"
attitude and simply reading all e-mails in plain-text mode only.

If they cannot draw your attention and interest with words to then go
open their attachment or visit their web site, it is quite obvious that
you don't want to bother with anything in their e-mail.

Oh, I find it quite laughable that the OP's mention of B2B e-marketing
(business-to-business) somehow magically exempts his e-mails from being
spam. Amazing how they always try to find an excuse that their spam
isn't really spam, uh huh. Oh yeah, if you're at work and you get their
crap then it must not be spam, sure, uh huh.
