What is HTML e-mail?
We're glad you asked. Using HTML in our e-mails allows us to provide a more
graphically rich mailing that includes many things our subscribers have asked for:
pictures, color, better layout, graphics, hotlinks, and more.
Does HTML e-mail take longer to download than plain-text e-mail?
Generally, HTML e-mail does take a little longer to download than a plain-text
message. We know this is an important concern to our subscribers, so our HTML
e-mails have been designed to keep download time to a minimum.
Does my e-mail program accept HTML?
If you're not sure, then here's a quick hint: have you ever received an e-mail that
included pictures or graphics? If so, then your e-mail program probably accepts
HTML. A growing number of our subscribers have e-mail applications that can
accommodate HTML (Netscape Communicator 3.0 or higher, Microsoft Outlook
98, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Web-based e-mail such as Hotmail, etc.).
Some people, though, use older programs that can only read plain-text messages. If
you use a text-based e-mail client, you should subscribe to the text-only versions of
our e-mails instead of the HTML versions.
