[PrintOwners] Advice on HTML emails & advertisements

[QKCONSULT at aol.com]

I need advice from the list as to your attitudes towards HTML emails that,  
when allowed, open up into a full graphic of sorts.
 
The reason I ask is that I have an email list of about 2,500 previous  survey 
participants and others who have received surveys, etc. I would like to  do 
some test marketing with this list and promote the book that Larry and I  wrote.
 
However, my concern is how these are received both physically and  
psychologically, if at all, by most recipients on this list. 
 
Does your email client automatically block these types of emails, or are  
they perceived as spam by your current email program and put into a spam folder?  
Or, are you given a option or choice as to whether you open them or not based 
 upon whether you know the sender?
 
My second choice is designing a much simpler "flyer" in Word using  basically 
a rich text format and using different type sizes and color, etc. and  then 
including a very simple order form. Far less elegant, but I assume  these would 
be opened almost automatically, once again assuming you knew who it  was from 
per the "subject" line... i.e. "A special offer from Larry Hunt and John  
Stewart." As a simple example, I  just highlighted the last line in red and made 
it both bold and  italic. Did this come through as intended?
 
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
