True, but it doesn't mean HTML mail is not useful with or without css. I use HTML messages in Drupal applications to bring emphasis (h1,h2,etc) tags, transmit bold and italics, and show data in tables. I don't use the drupal mail apis because they don't support html :) Dave On Jul 24, 2008, at 1:36 AM, Xavier Bestel wrote:

Besides, email clients have been HTML friendly for a *long* time, so I don't see why Drupal shouldn't have an interface that understands rich email messages.
Thoughts?
Have you even tried to make an HTML email look the same in multiple email clients? That stuff is impossible... and forget it if you want colored anchors or css support consistently. Heck they don't even send mime attachments consistently... They all do something close to spec... and lets not even get into the quirks of various webmail clients and the pluthera of different versions of MS Outlook in the wild and still supported by MS.
It isn't impossible! Just use CSS and make sure you have a wrapper div around your HTML-layout, styled with the CSS. The only thing that breaks your e-mails along the different e-mail clients is when you add styling to the <body>...</body> of your HTML e-mail.
Some current email clients support HTML but *not* CSS.
