I added script (snow flakes falling down the page) to my web publication
invitation and emailed it but the picture did not show (It was a cross).
Why???

Also, anyone in their right mind disables scripts in their email reader.

I assume you are being serious. KISS means "keep it simple stupid". By this
I mean that if you want any hope of the html formatted email from Publisher
to work, you need to keep the design very simple. Forget the snowflakes,
animated gifs and other "gee whiz" design elements. Study the email
formatted templates provided in Publisher to see what I mean.

PS. What both Mary and Ed are alluding to is that many people are disabling
script and html in the their email clients for security reasons, and the
only sure fire way to getting your message to people in the way you designed
it, is to convert to PDF and attach the message. Most everybody has a PDF
reader. If you have Pub 2007, the PDF add-in allows this, and if you don't,
you can download and use www.primopdf.com . And no, you still can't use
snowflakes...sorry.
