texte = Ok, Mike was the closest. But did figure out the right idea!!For Eudora you actually don't have to do anything. Just sending a page that contains html will get converted into html. As my problem was I was writing it and viewing it with Eudora and thought all was well. But no, my customer uses Outlook express and it was not parsing the html.So along came the [setmimeheader] idea, but for some reason that doesn't work with sendmail.Ok, Mike was really close. By adding the &Content-Type; text/enriched; charset=us-ascii That parsed the HTML in Outlook Express but did not display it. So the HTML was not visible but was just ignored so only plain non formated text appeared. So, this is what fixed it. So far I have tested this in Outlook Express and Eudora and both work fine.[sendmail to=ray@mindinfo.com&from=info@mindinfo.com&Mime-Version;1.0&Content-Type=tex t/html; charset=iso-8859-1&Subject=yeah, this works]Do all the html you want here[/sendmail]Thank you all for your help, And mabye I was doing something wrong with the [setmimeheader] context but It DID NOT work.RayAt 11:37 AM 6/16/98 -0800, you wrote: > > At 2:04 AM -0800 6/16/98, Raymond Hatch is rumored to have typed: > > > > This is all I get?? > > > > Mabye I need to be the to: inorder to see all of the blahblah?? > > > > No mime headers here? > > I sent myself some enriched text and then opened up the In file (in my > Eudora folder) in BBEdit.
