Sending a PDF which is how the page would have looked if you printed it ensures that the end result on the other end is predictable. The quality of sending as mail depends on the rendering engine of the mail client in the other end. -- Sandman[.net]

Hey, I didn't realize you could print the reader view - that's awesome! That part of the thread had been snipped by the time I got into it. :) I don't see how this changes anything though, other than the Reader view being far more likely to show up correctly in the other end. If that was your point, I would have to agree :) -- Sandman[.net]
