RE: E-Mail fonts from the AS/400

Why not post the report itself as web page on an internal server?

Using HTML you can easily add backgrounds, attractive headings including the
company logo, and background colors in the cells, with the total rows in
another color to set them apart.  Refresh it nightly and  email them a
shortcut to drag to their desktop.  

I did that and the result was a huge success.  The users printed in whatever
font  they wanted, printed the colors or not as they wanted, and they didn't
even have to open their mail.  It was just there, waiting for a double click
on their desktop icon.

I was initially using InfoPrint to send it as a PDF document - but 'they'
didn't want to have to open it !!
We also have SpoolMail and the same issues seem to exist.
 
thanks
