sending an html form via E-mail.

Is it possible to send a form via Email in an HTML format?

Browser support for forms in HTML formatted emails is pretty poor.
Link to a form on a regular webpage instead.

That's cuz it not a webpage but primarily a background image with a form
on top...

Here's a cure for that: disable image(s) so that the huge
background-which-isn't-a-background image doesn't appear. Then you can
resize the text for the forms without a care. Oh! except that the radio
buttons then become unlabeled ...

Thanks, everybody. I realize this whole thing is a hack but my client is
retired from magazine publishing/marketing and neither knows nor cares about
HTML "standards". Just thought I'd give it a shot. We're going to blow it
away and start over with something more "normal", whatever that is.

Thanks again.

It is up to you then to educate your client - the www is _not_ paper.
This is a very important concept for your client to understand.

You could also tell your boss that a lot of email clients do not do
forms. Some people reject HTML mail altogether. A lot of web based email
hosts won't load images in email to prevent tracking. Not everyone uses
Outlook Express - some people don't even have an email client.

Educating clients is an ongoing struggle, and one not to be forsaken.
However, IMHO, efforts to replicate the esthetic benefits of print media
within the obvious interactive advantages of the Web is very worthwhile.
Neither should be abandoned

So we just keep on truckin', hopin' for a better day. ;-)

Simple solution for that - trim your quotes, instead of quoting hundreds
of lines of redundant verbiage. :)

So snip out everything except what you are specifically responding to.
Some people don't trim their posts, but I wish they would.
