Mail hosting is unfortunately non-trivial thanks to the Major Players
going ape with spam control in a way that *just so happens* to block
all but the Major Players from reliable delivery - but yes, it's still

please. (Hell, in some ways it's actually easier, now that pretty much
every browser has reasonable CSS support.)
