[kurtsimons]

what is HTML email???

do you just mean send email, or do you mean submit a post to a web server that will send email?


to send to someone at yahoo.com

winsock.remotehost = "mx1.mail.yahoo.com"
winsock.remoteport = 25
winsock.connect


send these commands in this order after receiving smtp spoken here (vbcrlf after each)

-----------------------

helo yahoo.com

mail from:[email protected]

rcpt to:[email protected]


----------------
then type data send vbcrlf


subject: what

(two line feeds)


type away


(end with . <crlf> .)

quit

i meant sending smtp email, in html format.......

What a mess: nobody uses the same email client you can imagine what is the mail looking when it's received.....!

SOooo, i guess i've taken the good decision: i'll continue to send it with "text/plain" (by the way not so bad) to send email through my application....

Any comment(s) ?

thank you

Just create a program that send email and for the bit where u put the message just put the html text and it will turn it into a html page when the recipient gets it.
