Text is for E-mail
 
begin to tell you the number of E-mails I get formatted for HTML.
These are basically not readable in a text mode and get quickly
deleted. While some mail readers will display HTML coding, many
will not. If you use E-mail to send information to potential
clients, always make sure that you send it in a format they can
read.

AOL has some pretty nifty tools and allows you to put script in
colors, use italic print or to bold parts of your note. That's
fine if you are writing to someone at AOL. but did you know that
these tools may not be readable by the email client software
that many people use? They may, in point of fact, block the
message from being read? I get at least 2 or 3 E-mails every day
with nothing in the body of the note. What a waste of your time
and mine. When you do send something like that, you are begging
for people to block all future E-mail from your address.

Many E-mail readers have filters which easily allow offending
E-mails to be automatically "trashed". If someone sends 4 or 5
spams, examine


the return address. The odds are they are forged
and will all be different. Blocking their E-mail address is
useless here as they use a different one every time. Better yet,
pick a sentence in their E-mail, and block any message with that
sentence.

E-mails with no text, and the message they wish read is an
attachment to the E-mail, is another common mistake. If it's not
from someone I know, it is immediately deleted. Why should I
waste my time opening an attachment in an unsolicited E-mail?
If the note is in "Doc" format it never gets opened, even if I
know the person. They could unwittingly be sending me a virus.

One way that works, is to include the message in the body of the
E-mail, and attach your HTLM message to the note. That way the
recipient has a choice. Remember - text can be read by all
E-mail readers and that is your best bet. Otherwise, you might be
simply wasting your time.
