outrigger Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) While I have discovered rich text to not be that compatible between email clients, can most everyone receive in html format or is plain text always best?I'm sending to government institutions and an wondering if they will receive in html format. Never wanting the issue of formatting to block the entire message of course. Edited March 24, 2012 by outrigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdob Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Plain text is preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outrigger Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Problem is that I'm sending a 5-6 paragraph letter that really needs the formatting of bold for headers, etc, to make it readable. Without it, its actually a little hard to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdob Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 What about a plain text message and a attached ISO-standardized PDF/A ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outrigger Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) What about a plain text message and a attached ISO-standardized PDF/A ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A I'm saving a jpg through photoshop as a pdf, so there isn't that option.I realized in the past that plain text was pretty compatible, but hasn't html receiption gotten better over the last several years?

uid0 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thunderbird can send both html and plain text in the same email, which would probably suit everyone.If you send your text in a jpg, they will almost certainly smell spiced pork and ham.
