So I've subscribed to e-mails in HTML format so that I get all the nifty pictures and layouts....
However, my web-client that I have to use from client locations displays only the plain text in the intitial mail listing window.
So that means as I'm browsing my e-mail, I see:
Pocket PC Thoughts Team HARDWARE : Toshiba e805 Photos Publ...
If you are reading this, your email client does not support HTML-based email messages. You should return to Pocket PC Thoughts
Pocket PC Thoughts Team SOFTWARE : Microsoft Beta-Testing V...
If you are reading this, your email client does not support HTML-based email messages. You should return to Pocket PC Thoughts
Pocket PC Thoughts Team HARDWARE : Dell Axim X3 Unveiled...... If you are reading this, your email client does not support HTML-based email messages. You should return to Pocket PC Thoughts
Of course, I can click on the message and see the full HTML content. I understand why you've chosen to put this warning message in the HTML content for those of us who have chosen HTML format - good job. However, I'm wondering if it would be a nice compromise for you to include the first xx (maybe 100?) characters of the real content (article) before the warning so that those of us that have alternate e-mail clients (like cell phones, web-mail, etc. can at least scan the e-mail subject and content.
If not the leader from the article, then maybe the full headline? Then the warning message?
