Hello I am Balafenn. I am teaching myself to create email stationery by taking outlook express stationery and looking at the HTML codes.
I have run into msoNormal in the styles. I do not know what this tag or selector does. Could someone explain it to me? Thanks in advance.
Peace and Long Life

I think it stands for MS Office Normal. And looks like it's some sort of MS internal CSS class. Probably makes the font look the same as if you choose "Normal" font styling in a MS Word application. My guess would be it's a part of MS Windows "themes".
That thy stationery be a boon to mankind, embellishing the missives of many a generation to come!
Honorable Balafenn, if temporality is indeed an issue to thee, I pray thee, find thyself a tutor versed in the ways of electronic embellishments that are not of the fleeting sort! The violet is lovely; but yay, it fadeth tomorrow, and its short-lived pleasure is soon forgotten. Many indeed are those amongst the masses which speak of Outlook, but the truest master of pixel illumination has an eye to the future, and turns to the eternal guidelines of the master-guild of the faithful pixel illuminators, the W3C. Go there, my friend, for knowlegde of the stylesheet properties which escape the clutches of that fiend, time. Many who learn from Outlook and its kin are fated to the use of stillborn properties, miserable creatures whose magic you cannot trust, for they are deprecated before they take their first breaths, and beyond the perimeter set by the wise consensus by our great luminaries.
Furthermore, if you're going that direction, I've noticed that Mozilla Composer, which comes with the Mozilla browser (not firefox), allows you to embed images in your e-mail html - images converted to a safe binary format and put right there inside your e-mail HTML. Very nice, might be worth looking at - your mail recipients see the images immediately, and you don't get broken images if they open the mail after they're offline.
oooooooo I love your post! You're a poet; I like poets
I will definately take your advice, O wise wordsmith. I thank thee heartily for thine helpful advice.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
A most excellent post! ;)
