I agree and want to know a solution as well. My user doesn't have Office 2010 so they cant even do that even if we wanted to.

Thanks for the comments, Andres,

Unfortunately that's not going to be an acceptable solution, as the reason we're wanting to use this feature is to make it reeeeeealy easy for this person to see their ticket list.  Even having that extra click would defeat what we're trying to accomplish.  Obviously they didn't notice that message when they opened it initially.

So, is there any way I can send the dashboard as a text-only e-mail?  Or a place that I can define how the html code looks myself?

However when I upgraded to Office 2010 on my PC, outlook displays a bar stating that to correctly view this email I should click on it so it can open it up in the browser.  Then it looks like it should. Im pretty sure the email isn't pulling the CSS correctly from the web server or something like that.

However, when she got the e-mail, it looks terrible - in mine, it looks all pretty like the RT home page, but in hers the blue background is overwhelming with every other line in the list as white.  I finally concluded that the most likely issue is that she is using Outlook (I am using Mac Mail).
