<Flash content>

has anyone on list ever had an example of GLCS 3.1.1 or AGL4.0
"destroying" SWF's, I.E., having the <embed> code cause hidden objects to
appear?

Unless you are on a technical list that discusses code, and have a need
to be able to discuss that code at a source level.

Example:

<html>
<head>
<style>
BODY { color: red; font-size: 44px; font-family: verdana, garamond,
tahoma, arial; }
DIV { color: blue; font-size: 44px; font-family: verdana, garamond,
tahoma, arial; }
</style>
</head>
<body><b><u><font size="8">How big is this, and can you read the source?
<div>Would you know to look if I didn't tell you?</div>
</font>
</u>
</b>
</body>
</html>

Sometimes "rich and compelling" is missing out on what's important.

As if that fruit company's email clients can't read HTML. Maybe it's
just that software on that platform (not made by MS) is easily explained
and configured, and people don't have to be told over and over that their
email is sending attachments again, and again, and again, despite the
fact they instructed it not to only yesterday.

Choice is power, I'm thankful we have MS to make that clear.
