how to enable javascript in sent mail

[Steve]

hello,
i need to send emails ( HTML emails ) that have javascript processing
kept enabled when they reach their destination.i tried but seems
everything related to javascript ( events, keywords etc.. ) is deleted
when mail reaches destination.
is there a workaround for this?

No, no, perhaps you "want".
What would you call "needing" the imposssible?

An email is not stripped, [but by super stringent virus scanners].
Any email client thet runs js is a unacceptable security hazard.

is there a workaround for this?

Ask the recipient to run the [attached!] html in their brower.
There will always be some fools that will actually do that.

but what if the email client was a browser like FF or IE and the mail
server is LiveMail or Gmail
how do they filter js code out of the mail.
so there is no way that you know of capable of doing this,and by the way

follow up ( i accidentally posted it before finishing )

so these filters would be the super virus scanners you're talkin
about( used by MS and Google ) ?
how about iframes ? would it be possible to set the source of an iframe
to an external file and have it not filtered?

Absolutely not! Think about the security issues, man...

(And if you should find a way... well, we just have to kill you...)

email.

If you want interactive results, send your respondents a link to a web
page.

This is very useful, I have don this many times in the last few years,
and security wize it is the only solution.

Perhaps you will die from shame when your mail comrpromizes security,
and your customer respondents sue your for damages.
