Possible answers are that the web "designer" doesn't know how to do  
things on the server, they they're unable to access the server to do  
this (either through "security" or excessive bureaucracy), or that  
they're required to use a certain design or CMS tool which must do it  
this way for compatibility.

That's nice. Hw do I know this text isn't fake? And how do I know what  
happened to the email as it crossed the Internet after this text was  
added? Yet more security theatre...
