For those of you on Al's mailing list, you were sent an email on July 19 regarding the upcoming DVD set. We want to make sure everyone saw the email as it was intended, and your responses will help us know if we're doing everything correctly.

Thanks!

Text & clickable image.

Also (for me, at least), the
"FROM THE DESK OF WEIRD AL

July 19, 2006"
banner was black writing on a black background, and I had to highlight it to read it, if that's of interest. I'm with Gmail if that makes a difference.

It was black with gray letters for me. No need to highlight, however. I have a Yahoo email account. That email made my day!

Btw, the trailer is awesome!


:D
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Received the email with "x" in the windows. Right clicked to see if it would show picture, but there wasn't an option available for that.

The trailer/preview of TWAS is still downloading.

I have dial-up and my email service is through AT&T. Pathetic, I know, but such is life.

Hmm... that might be Gmail, or it might be your web browser. I have an email at my dad's website, but I use it through Mail (a program for Macs), and it was a black background with grey letters.

It does make a difference actually -- Gmail has a tendency to strip out some formatting done by stylesheets, which this message does have (this is one of the pesky things I deal with every day at work). They should probably define the color with FONT tags (in addition to in the stylesheet) so that the text is at least legible (if not formatted exactly how they wanted) in Gmail.

(the email looked great on my end, BTW)

It worked with the linked image for me as well, but I use Yahoo like Patti, so I also saw gray letters on the black background. Nice trailer! I can't wait!
