Emailing HTML/Hotmail problem

Ryan · May 3, 2006

I have code that emails an html document where as the email is in html
format... (and not an attachment)
objMessage.From = astrEmailFrom
objMessage.Subject = astrEmailSubject
objMessage.Body = astrEmailMessage
objMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
objMessage.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = astrSMTPServer

For some reason it shows up fine when emailed to outlook but in doesnt
in HOTMAIL.... hotmail shows up with the stylesheet striped from the
document and the follow is part of the header... im including this
piece because it may give someone a clue to what is going on...

any help? thanks
Ryan

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"

Try moving your style definitions into the <body> section of the email
rather than the <head>.

Hotmail strips the head section out as it would conflict with the head
section of the hotmail page. Just add your style tags and definitions below
the opening body tag.
