It is up to you then to educate your client - the www is _not_ paper.
This is a very important concept for your client to understand.
You could also tell your boss that a lot of email clients do not do
forms. Some people reject HTML mail altogether. A lot of web based email
hosts won't load images in email to prevent tracking. Not everyone uses
Outlook Express - some people don't even have an email client.
