html email (blush!) and media support
Hi everyone,
OK, I've been asked to create some sort of interactive "postcard" to be mailed out to clients. Basically the client want's something that appears as an animated image with a link to a website.
Now that this is out of the way, I'm wondering, how to go about it and also what the status of media support in current email clients is?
Flash and perhaps Quicktime seem obvious candidates, but if the email client wont render them properly, there's absolutely no point.
I usually go for the lowest common denominator, so my first thought was an animated gif that simply links to the website for a richer experience, but then again what email clients display animated gifs properly? I remember reading somewhere that the ubiquitous Outlook had its rendering engine downgraded to match Word for security reasons.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Cheers Martin
