emailing visualforce dashboard components? "this component can't be displayed in emails"

I have some custom visualforce dashboard components. Everything looks great when a user is on the page, however when the dashboard is emailed the section where these components should be has a message "this component can't be displayed in emails".

 

Anyone with any thoughts as to a solution or work around for this?

Are those components - s-controls.
S Controls cannot be displayed in an email as they need Javascript to run and an email client cannot run javascript.

The are just visualforce. However the odds are good that they use javascript (as just about everything in salesforce does). Is there a place where I can see the limitations of emailing dashboards and what will or will not work?

Vintara, as of V32, the doc is pretty clear on this (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/index_Left.htm#StartTopic=Content/pages_charting_limitations.htm) : "Email clients do not usually support JavaScript execution in messages. Don’t use Visualforce charting in email messages or email templates"
