I'm sending some emails from my ASP.NET MVC application, using <a href="http://actionmailer.net/" rel="nofollow">ActionMailer.NET</a>. Now, part of this process is sending both HTML and text versions of the message, to support text-only clients. But what i'm seeing is that GMail is always picking the text version. I tried Yahoo, and Yahoo is picking the HTML version correctly. I tried dumbing down my HTML to nothing but a <code><h1></code> and a <code></code> tag, and GMail still picked the text version, which means there isn't a problem with the content of the HTML. Is this expected behaviour? Because when i send only the HTML version, GMail will show the HTML version correctly. I've set the meta-tags in the HTML as follows: <pre><code><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </code></pre> Has anyone else encountered this behaviour, and found a solution? Because as it stands, i'll probably have to send only the HTML version, so that GMail will render it, as too many of our clients use GMail. Here's an example of basic HTML i'm trying to send: <pre><code><html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title></title> </head> <body> <h1>This is the heading</h1> This is some text. </body> </html> </code></pre> And GMail won't even allow that.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
