Default html email - 06-16-2005 , 02:15 AM






Hi,

I am trying to send email from FM7. The contents of the email is plain
text (at least for now), but I need it to catch the default html
stationery in Outlook. Apparently, when FM sends an email, it instructs
the email client to format it as plain text; this way no stationery is
attached.
Is there any way to change this without buying a plugin?

I noticed that if I do an "Open URL" instead, with "mailto:something",
it creates an html email with stationery (in Outlook), but working this
way would be more difficult (I'd need to build the mail header fields
and combine everything into an URL).

Finally, if I could also put html code in the contents of the email,
that would be a plus.

Thanks
Adrian

P.S. Please don't question the use of html email. It's not my choice.

Hmm.. scratch that (I think), when I add &body=something, the
stationery seems to be gone.

I think you open or create your document in a html editor and copy and
paste the html code into your email.

Well, I need the recipient(s) to see the rendered html, not the source
code. And I need it done from FileMaker (perhaps with the help of some
other software that is free or that I can write).

When you paste the source code into something like mailit, the recipient
sees html. Noil
