If you want email to be looked at and be delivered why would you use HTML?

Um, pretty pictures and proportional text? Not everyone promotes their site features primarily to the digerati, you know.

I think my photo-sharing site's use of HTML in email is justified.

That is an interesting situation where a group of users might opt in and HTML could be a useful thing.

Are you sending photos via email? Aren't browsers generally a more pleasant way to view photos than mail clients?

Having the thumbnails show in the email itself means people don't have to break their stride to know whether the photos are ones they're interested in. I keep in touch with a lot of family and old friends using the same email. Different people care about different photos.

Am I the only one who hates corporate email so much? Even for companies I like, I hate receiving email from them.

I'd love to have a no-email policy. Email scams could then be avoided, unless people respond to phishing despite a declaration, "we will never email you".

If you use Entourage on a mac then, this script will be helpful: http://scriptbuilders.net/files/sendcomplexhtmlwithinlinefil... I have used it and it works wonderfully well.

"... Who is sending the email is becoming more important than what the email says ..."

So why the brochure in the mail instead of short punchy messages with a link to a brochure?

which makes changing domain names so hard.
