If you get links that don’t work in Apple Mail it may be because you’ve put align=“left” on the table tag.

Oh god, HTML email is all good but it does mean that I have to go through a slew of new and fairly crappy rendering enginesto make sure that they can all handle what I’m sending them. I’m surprised by the low quality of a lot of the products. Particuarly Apple Mail actually, which does not understand a line of CSS. I hope this situation will change with the whole Safari thing.

By the way, the reason for this and the last post is that I’m developing a direct mail application. It’s nearly 5,000 lines of PHP now and has taken me about 110 hours of coding time to produce. It currently lacks a realistic interface (it looks very much like the database it’s built around) but it’s functionally pretty much there. It will be managed and so should be able to compete with the big boys and undercut them quite a bit.
