mail html

HDI · Feb 5, 2006

Hi,

Does anyone know how to put html in the body.

So when you click on link your mail opens and you can see a html
webpage.

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=feedback&body=I am having trouble
finding information on.">link</a>

--> OK for text.

<a
href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=feedback&body=<html>...</html>">link</a>

--> ???

I know you can mail a form but that's not an option. (<form
action=mailto....)
Outook gives always a message box when the user send it back.

THX

Yes -- add the following headers to your message:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

I thought that OE automatically do, when you have html selected as
message body.

Why would it? All you're doing is attempting to fill the subject and
the body using the worst possible method. Use a server-side handler
and do it properly.

Learn to quote properly. It's always an option (remote script
hosting), but what you're doing is certainly not an option. If you
must use an email link, just specify the email address and let the user
do the rest.

How do you know if the person sending the email has a mail client? How
do you know that client supports HTML email?

I presume you mean that because you are using google groups. Well, it's
not entirely you fault because they have hidden the mechanism of quoting
text. Take a look at:
