I agree whole heartedly. If the Marketing/Sales folks are stuck up on branding, I'd explore sending a MIME multipart/alternative with branded HTML and a plain text version with no degradation of actual content. And keep the whole thing under 25-30KB total. Creating them is pretty easy with perl MIME::Lite. Alex
