One thing I forgot to mention: when you send an email through CustomerConnect, smart phone users get the HTML version, not the text-based version. So if you dress up your HTML email with graphics it is not easily viewable on blackberries and other smart phones. This is the problem we are running into since many of our customers are on-the-go and use their blackberries to check their email. We are forced to send out very boring looking text-based emails so that our mobile customers can get the emails without too much hassle.

We found a solution that somebody else was doing. Here's a screenshot of the email: http://i.imgur.com/IebZ5.jpg

When you click the link "Click here for a mobile version of this email" it takes you to an HTML-based version of the email, but without the graphics or the lengthy header information that you find in CustomerConnect emails. See here: http://i.imgur.com/gjCQ0.jpg
