how do I send an html page by mail, without attching it? I want the page to be the mail content

if sender doesnt have html content then I believe it gets sent as an attachment.
What s/w will u be using to send emails?

What u could do in your email is have something like this near the top

"if u have problems reading this email then please click here to see email in your browser"

and clicking on that will take u to a webpage on your site. This webpage is basically the html page u send out.
Each time u send out the email, u must remember to update your site.

I've found an easy way to do it using microsoft outlook... thanks for your help

How does that help you if sender doesnt have the ability to read html email?

sending emails using outlook should be straight forward I guess. Are you using distribution lists? and specifying html mails when u open a message? U can also code this easily using outlook automation.
Im just wondering how u got round the issue of users not being able to read html mails. Normally the html contents would be sent as an attachment.

I'll follow your advice and write a message on top of the email.

I'm using outlook because for now it is the simplest option. I'm not using distribution lists, I get my client emails from the program I use to work.

This solution is temporary, because we are updating our software in order to automate this task.

ok, no probs.

I have done programming solutions for this before. Its pretty straight forward.

I have used Outlook automation to automate sending emails and also make use of CDO. Disadvantage with Outlook automation is that from Office 2003, you get security popup messages coming up. Way round that is to use Redemption (similar to Office automation but no popups), or to use CDO. With CDO, its a direct connect to your exchange server.
Ive used it to send html emails also and easily handles attachments etc.

I'll do it using email functions with php. I've done it before and it's very easy.
