i have an html eblast that i am trying to deploy to mobile devices. i have inserted <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" /> in the head of the doc which displays the page fine on mobiles when visiting the page when hosted, but every time i try and deploy as a blast it displays as a standard html page (guessing its stripping out the code that describes it as a mobile page). anyone know how to fix this?

what's the difference between your "html eblast" and a "standard html page"? what are you using to send the email? depending on the system you are using, a lot can happen, but an html eblast is really just a "standard html page" on it's own.

only my html <head> tags differ; here is what i have for the mobile page:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache; no-transform"/>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="images/logobit.jpg" />

i am trying to deploy with 'send complex html' plugin in microsoft entourage. the end result will most likely be deployed via myemma or somthing of the sort, but my thinking is that all eblast deployment software will strip out the html intro tags, not positive tho.
