While I don't disagree that some are not set up for HTML emails, the same is
true of PDF files. Nor am I arguing against some of the advantages of PDF
files. However, the Adobe Reader download is large, especially for dial-up
modems, and many of my clients are too intimidated by the idea of
downloading and installing the Reader to do it. You might say that most
computers come with the Reader, but at the least Dell computers don't. I
suspect that more people can handle HTML emails than PDF files with their
original setup. Just my two cents worth...
