HTML Emails

[PetrolTed]

Anyone experienced in sending HTML emails?

I've noticed that the emails that I send out are 'massaged' by some email clients or servers resulting in bizarre results.

becomes

www.pistonheads.com/include/im ages/black-spacer.gif

and

htptp://www.pistonheads.com:80/include/images/right-arrow.gif becomes

Can't see why 8.3 naming would make any difference. This is HTML we're dealing with not the OS.

I do provide a plain text equivalent. Whilst the technology may be imperfect the results are useful.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a bash.
