Subject:	RE: FLASH: embedding flash into an email
From:	Phillip Kerman

So the answer is to send HTML emails. Sure, they're annoying... but I'm
curious about the issues involved to make it work. For example, is there a
way to make the embedded images and .swfs download the to user's machine or
do they always reside on a server?
