OT billing email ads

[Rick Gaskin]

yes, thank you.

we are doing something similar..but unfortunately PBS requires that we 
give a set dimension to the arbitrary size...so when it comes to billing 
the invoice reads 4x1 rather than banner

and still i think the confusion is that 4x1 isn't 4x1 depending on how 
you view the ad

or in realtion to the overall page

does that make since??
