    JS in Email?

    Hi - I'm a js novice. I've found a snippet of code on one of the js websites
    that creates trailing text behind the mouse. Works fine in a website, but I
    can't make it work in an email. No spam intentions, just fun amongst
    friends. I dropped the code between the <head> tags, just like with a
    website, but no joy. Should js work in an email? If so, any suggestions?
    Thanks for your help.

      Most newsreader will not allow JS in emails for the reason you named.
      You can provide a link in your mail to a http site that has the
      script, or send a .html file as an attachment, maybe!?

          Many of us block such things in our mail. I have JS turned off in
          Outlook. It's too easy for viruses to run in Outlook if you allow script
          to run in it. No script may run in my Outlook.

          YMMV, depending on your mail client.
