Hi

 Re My dancing H problem. 

 

I reluctantly use only text. I forget sometimes that not everyone uses incredimail.

 

When and if you do swap from microsoft Outlook to incredimail, you will never go back.

Comparing the two it is like upgrading (in both performance + behind the times) from a  morris minor to a Ferrari.

 

I never send attachments to Sharechat, so if you do see one on my e-mail push the delete button. I regularly scan for viruses, 3 different scan programs operating, no red alerts....but I will run a complete check using latest updates, just to make sure.

Cheers

Hoop   ( no dancing red H  :))   )

That's Hoop's "dancing H"!!

I recently had a client who designed an Outlook Express template for
outgoing emails. The background was their new logo, repeated endlessly
in a grid. The text was in their corporate colours, with their
signature in a three different fonts. It was a shambles. The text of
their emails was hard to read because of the background, the colours,
while ok in their logo, looked terrible when applied to text, making
the whole process of reading what they had to say a real effort. Why
did they do this? 1. Because they could. 2. Because their email client
had these "features" highlighted by its developers, and 3. Because they
thought (incorrectly, as they found out) that their clients would just
love it.

Regarding format for outgoing emails, I always recommend that people
use plain text. Occasionally, bold is useful, but using *asterisks* is
just as good an alternative for emphasis.

No HTML. No fancy signature attachments. No colours. Just text. This
means that attachments tend to be attached documents rather than fancy
bits and pieces. Of course, if one is using a free online email
facility, then this can sometimes be hard to achieve.

Regards

Robin
