I would stay away from using <a name> it breaks in a lot of browsers in html
emails - although you may not be at all concerned about that. You can
accomlish the same thing by linking to an object's id:
<a href="#jump">Jumper</a>
<p>Some information about jumping here</p>
<h1 id="jump">Jumper</h1>
<p>Don't do it man!</p>
This example avoids having to have random tags like:
<a href="#jump">Jumper</a>
<p>Some information about jumping here</p>
------- old example ------
<a name="jump" /> <!-- this was a problem for me in firefox and ie reading
html emails with an html4 doctype it highlighted the remaining text as a
link -->
<h1 id="jump">Jumper</h1>
<p>Don't do it man!</p>
