Sending emails with HTML or not?

843830Mar 20 2002 — edited Mar 27 2002

I am developing an application which will send 1000's of emails and I'm debating on whether or not to send html in the email. I have two questions:

1. Do most email clients support html? Most of the recipients of the emails will be AOL, hotmail/msn, or yahoo clients. Are there any stats on how many people are running clients that don't support html?

2. The emails I send require an embedded image. Can I send an email with an image and it not be a html email? If so, how? A multipart email? If anybody has an example that would be great!

I'd prefer to not use HTML if possible.

Thanks,

JEB
