Hi, i want to be able to send an email which when its viewed it just acts as a .html page. However i want it to appear just where an email would without having to click an attachment or something like that. Obviously the email viewing site would have to support html.
I hope someone can help!
thanks in advance, chris

chris,
it all depends on your email host. if they allow html in outgoing email, then you shouldn’t have a problem. if not, then your out of luck.
if they do, look for a place that they designated for html emails (not a lot have these) if you cant find one, just copy and paste your html code into the main body of the email, and make sure you link the images to actual urls, and not just href=“bla.jpg” because they wont get it.
well, ive never done it, so if im wrong do correct me.

If your hosted on a nt or 2000 box chances are they have CDONTS available which is easily accessed with asp…try this code.
```php
<% Option Explicit
dim objEmail
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")
'have the user input a name in the form or email address then request it
objEmail.From = Request.Form("email address")
'return email address
objEmail.To = "you@you.com"
'subject line
objEmail.Subject = "subject line stuff"
'0=MIME 1=Text
objEmail.BodyFormat = "0"
'Set the format
objEMail.MailFormat = 0
'Put your HTML normal code here be sure t collect your form elements using the request object
objEMail.Body = "Hello
This is my e-mail in HTML format<%= request.form=("formElement")"
'send the mail
objEmail.Send
'alway close your stuff
Set objEmail = Nothing
'this is going to be your response that the email was sent.
Response.Write"Confimation| Thank You Your message was sent: | | | .:close this window:. | |
|
"
%>
```
[edit by lostinbeta to show code: also I advise to use the php VB code tags to show code as this board converts html]
