This is not an endorsement of the code on the site or the site, it is a reminder of a reasonable html email practice. Fundamentalists and purists will say to leave out the html email bit and go straight to plain text and the link. But this is not for them. This practice is for the fallen creatures who are determined to send html formatted emails.

I confess that I send HTML formatted emails for my business. It is the most effective way to communicate when negotiating or reviewing a commission. When your business is *visual* is just works to have images with associated notes or messages rather than tack all images at the end and have to say in "In image #1 is ..."

And, the subject of my post, do you provide a fallback link as well?

No but a sent in multi-format with a text only fallback. If they have trouble I send images by attachment. Most of the time I don't have to. Beats dealing with old AOLers that were also restricted to a single attachment! Then if your had more than one image your had to zip them up first!


I stick like glue mostly to plain but I like a nice ones when they come... so if yours are good looking as I am sure they are, good for you.
