[osol-mktg] Updated metrics

Sun Sep 25 23:49:28 PDT 2005

Question.  (And pls don't shoot me for asking.)  Ulf was asking if a 
metrics page was going to be created, so this info is available on the 
website and not just in an email thread.  I don't think Ulf was 
commenting one way or another about whether HTML attachments are ok or not.

Which leads me to ask - are all attachments bad?
Or just HTML attachments?
What about .pdf?
Or staroffice/openoffice attachments?
Is .jpg ok?

I ask in all seriousness.  Teresa made the same comment the other day - 
that she had heard that some people hate .html attachments.  Which made 
me wonder why attachments of other file formats are ok - but not .html?

Thanks in advance for explaining...  :-)
