Re: [PLUG] Open source Mail client

[Casey Bralla via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Sorry, guys, but I think you all are peeing into the wind. Graphics in 
eMail signatures are VERY common in business environments.  My company 
REQUIRES small graphic images to identify my office phone, mobile phone, 
and office location.  They also require HTML formatted text for my name 
and title, a company logo, and for the new year, we had to add a fancy 
graphic of the year changing.

Yes, its screws up text-only eMail, but most (non-nerdy) people use 
graphic-capable eMail clients, so they don't care.  Microsoft Outlook 
handles it all just fine and it looks good. It presents company 
"branding" in a consistent and professional-looking way.


BTW, I HATE the reliance on _javascript_ on web pages.  It makes it so you 
can't even print a page from, say, Target.com because the formatting is 
done in complex css and _javascript_.  Unfortunately, Target doesn't care 
what I think, and I have no power to stop them.
