HTML Message formats - urgent question

[Guest]

Use Exchange 2000 with Outlook 2000 on clients. Management want email
signatures to be in the format of a business card. To do this we have to
change message formats to html. They are currently set to rich text.
Are there any implications in doing this. Most of our clients are set to
rich text format by default. I thought rich text was important. Does having
html affect MS Word in anyway.
thanks

Using HTML causes problems on Notes clients and some Mac clients depending
on the complexity of your HTML-code. Do you include pictures ? Do you embed
or download pictures ? Do you use tables ? Etc. ?

I never recommend using Word as the editor in Outlook, as Word changes your
HTML-code ... in some cases not even clients with Outlook can read the
outcome correct.

NB. I would never recommend Outlook RTF-format on any clients - this is
Microsoft format and is intended for Outlook internal use only. If the
receiver does not have Outlook, you never know the outcome ... (e.g.
external mails).

So what do I do ?
Use Plain Text or accept that e.g. Notes clients cannot read HTML-mails
correct when sent by your Management ...

Thanks, we send pictures, files like word, excel etc around our network and
to external clients The signature we want is a business card that will be
embedded into the email as a signature. It is in HTML format. We can only
see the card if we select html format. --
