We have a Customer Support page at
http://www.name_of_site.com/supreq.php?r=1024&t=support
The dynamic bit is r=1024 for a resolution of 1024x768 (we detect the users resolution and send them to the optimized page for their resolution). So if their resolution was 800x600 the link would be
http://www.xcase.com/supreq.php?r=800&t=support
or for 1280x1024:
http://www.xcase.com/supreq.php?r=1280&t=support
THE QUESTION:
We want to add a link in an html email that we will send to our users, where we write "Please contact SUPPORT" and the word SUPPORT will link to the above page. What link to do we use i.e. is there one link that will be able to link to the above page, whichever resolution the user has?

What about having two HTML mail versions, one for each screen resolution and then just using an if / else statement inside the php for sending either one or the other?
Not sure if this actually helps, but trying anyway. :)

Thanks for the reply. However I am not sure that will do the trick. What I need to know is how to link to a page called supreq.php from within a simple html page. For example I would usually just write http://www.mysite.com/supreq.php and the person would click on that and go to the php page. However since that php page is dynamic and has 3 different flavors, depending on the users resolution, I need to use a link like:
http://www.mysite.com/<each users specific flavor of> supreq.php
My question is whether there is some way of writing a single link like this that will go to the correct page whatever the users particular flavor (resolution) is.

you could use a drop down option form box to let the user pick their own resolution in html other wise you need server side solution such as the php example as above. hth dave

Maybe use a javascript code that will redirect to the correct page?

Given the fact that the formula for PageRank (see definition below) is PR(a) = (1-d) + [ PR(T1) / C(T1) + … + PR(Tn) / C(Tn) ], the more outbound links your sites has the higher the divider --C(T1), resulting in a lower page rank, unless you have overwhelming inbound links or links from other sites to yours.
However, it is good practice to internal link or crosslink within your site. Make sure these links are relevant links from one subject to another related subjects. For example, link the Fruit Page to the Apple and Orange pages. Do not link Food Page to the Text Book Page. This is considered non-related linking, which is a bad, bad thing since Google is all about relevance or so the theory states.
Lets talk about external or outbound links. They are good too, but keep in mind the more links you have out to another site the lower your PageRank is. Do the math. The higher the denominator the smaller the value. But then who care, PageRank is only a multiplier of the Relevance-Ranking Algorithm right;-) If all other things are right, then what is it in a multiplier.
What is PageRank
Page Rank is the “sum of the PageRanks of all pages that link to it (its incoming links), divided by the number of links on each of those pages (its outgoing links) (Rael Dornfest—“Google Hacks, 3rd Ed) In depth book on how the back-end of Google technology works. Best I read yet.

You must keep both of those URLs out of Google's index, and strive to only get the canonical www.domain.com/supreq.php?t=support format listed.
The other formats are duplicate content and a user arriving at the 1024 resolution page directly from a search results page, but who has only 800 resolution, has still been inconvenienced despite your plans to serve separate content.
You should investigate CSS for styling, and base sizing on percentages. Having multiple URLs for the same content is a very very bad idea.
