Re: [epub] sending HTML to AOL

[Ravi Jayagopal <ravi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Forgot to mention in my previous post -

As long as you are sending HTML email, you don't have to worry.

AOL users can read HTML email like anybody else. Feel free to use tables, 
images, or just about anything you want.

You only have to worry when sending AOL users plain text messages 
containing text links like http://www.BabyNamesIndia.com/pictures.html

If you are a non-AOL user, then you will see the above url as a hyper link 
- meaning its already highlighted and ready to click.

To make the same link 'clickable' by AOL users (those using < 6.0), you 
would adda a HTML tag, which would then look like :

<snip>
Click here for the World's Cutest Babies :
http://www.BabyNamesIndia.com/pictures.html

<a href="http://www.BabyNamesIndia.com/pictures.html">AOL Users Click here</a>
</snip>


Now, AOL users can see the text "AOL Users Click here" as a hyper link, 
clicking which will take them to the url in the href="" tag.

So for every link in your plain text email, you have to add the HTML tag 
for AOL users.

<< So, to summarize >>
If you're sending HTML email, it already contains these <a href=""></a> , 
so your AOL users won't have a problem reading them. If you're sending 
plain text emails with plain text links, then you have to include an extra 
tag as explained above.

My 6.01 cents :-)
