Dear All,

While I know that many have mixed feelings in principle
regarding html e-mail I would be grateful for any advice /
recommendations etc. on generating html e-mail newsletters
for circulation amongst our staff here. 

Anyone involved in the area will appreciate the challenge in
creating attractive, user friendly newsletters for
circulation amongst a large staff in diverse locations. 
The 'instant accessibility' of an email newsletter that
'forces' the destination e-mail application to display it in
html is something I'd like to at least experiment with as it
might be a way of reaching more people.

Note: we currently use Groupwise 7.0 as an institution -
while it can generate html mails these will typically revert
to text when the users open them, as far as I can see, and
are therefore no good for this purpose.
Rather than requiring the user to manually choose view /
html to see the html version I'd like to create a mail which
defaults to html on opening whatever preferences the user
has set locally - as happens with many commercial/NGO e-mail
newsletters that I'm receiving lately - some including a 'if
this mail doesn't display properly click here' function in
the body of the mail.

Thanks in advance for your help, Neil
