Your best bet would be to use an HTML format to send the email. And to do that you're going to need something that can do it on the server side (read: not Javascript). PHP can easily do this, and I'm sure Perl has some way of doing it, but if you're stuck with nothing more than Javascript, I'm afraid you don't have any options of making it prettier.

yes, i'm using perl...and not php. i've tried looking this up on google as well, and i didn't find anything.

well if i was to get the html format a try, how would i go about doing this?

I've never used perl before, so I'm not sure with that. You have to include the correct email headers and setup all your to/subject/body fields and such.

This seems like a good start: http://perl.about.com/library/weekly/aa042302d.htm
