I am not sure what they were saying.  Often what "not supported" means is
not that they are trying to stop people from doing things, just that they
aren't going to be able to help you if something goes wrong.

I would Cc: the message, perhaps in hardcopy to someone at wells fargo and
ask them if their math is as good as their english.  I would also mention
any HTML technical errors (if you can't get simple HTML straight, how can
I trust ...).
