I see your point, but from a different perspective. Where _better_
than on a web development framework list to find folks who
clearly understand the difference between _web_ and _email_ and
the effective use of each. HTML has no business in any email that
seeks to communicate clearly and simply with everyone, as email
was intended before it became an overhyped marketing target...

just another $0.02 for the kitty... <g>
