Hi Lynn, I'm an avid follower of your blog spot and this problem of yours came to my attention. I am currently in the same dilemma. I'm hosting a fund raiser party for an orphanage and sending invitations through e-mail. However I have no clue on whether to put the date, time, venue in the e-mail even when it is already present in the attachment as people tend to focus on the immediate stuff rather than wasting their time in reading the attachment. This is my first fund raiser programme, hence I'm not sure what to do. -Vinay
