Good News Everybody!

Please report any problems to david (at) midrange.com.




Would like to know if you have tested this on other clients like AOL.
I've been trying to figure out how to code the multi part so that a text

haven't been successful yet. Curious as to how you are handling that.

We have a design that is mostly working Joe. The two column layout is a
***nice to have*** and the only real problem we have seen is the width
in high-res screens.
