Email is, by nature, in the form of text. Almost every email
sent every day is nothing but text. This is great, because it
allows the recipient to use whichever mail reader he or she
chooses, be it based on text, graphics, or other.
If that text happens to be HTML code, then the email can include
colors, images, and fancy formatting. But only if the recipient
uses a mail reader that interprets HTML, which many people don't.
That's why it's considered impolite to post HTML email on lists
like this one.
Now, you can also send images or anything else as attachments,
which is a different story. If you're having a problem with
attachments, let us know what email program you're using, and
maybe we can help you figure it out.
