Just one quick thing about using XHTML etc. for emails - bear in mind
that Office 2007 and Outlook 2007 are now using (and sit down before
completing this) the MS Word rendering engine for HTML. Yes, we've gone
from using the IE engine to using one of the most broken pieces of crap
on the market. Maybe M$ *want* people to go over to Thunderbird, I dunno.
Anyway, with XHTML and the like, just bear that one in mind - there's
going to be a whole load of HTML emails that now break in Outlook '07,
and as it takes over from Outlook as Industry Standard Of Choice we're
going to be seeing a lot more problems...
