I was suggesting that if your primary aim is animation, you should use what has become an animation language, for the *whole* document. If your primary aim is a document, you should accept that some things are inappropriate for documents. (A lot of commercial HTML is striving to be animation rather than document.) Trying to make a document language behave like an animation one tends to produce a result that is simply unstable and browser dependent, as well as being bloated. P.S. The quoting style in the plain text version of your email is much easier to understand than the HTML one, could I suggest that you turn off the HTML. You will find that all the primary developers (I'm not one) only send plain text. It would also considerably reduce the mail folder footprint (currently 14KB).
