When creating links for an an html based email, how critical is it to use absolute links? Also, What are the benefits in using relative links in general?
Relative links allow you use less code to traverse your structure, and they allow you to move domains without having to do any extra work. You simply copy your directory structure to the new domain, and it works.
As a lesser consideration, Absolute links don’t make you worry about the position of your document relative to other documents — which while not ‘hard’ to overcome, it adds an extra layer of thought that you have to be cognizant of.
For Email, your only real choice are absolute links.
