Can you send HTML encoded emails with the PHP mail function?
Actually it would be even better if there was a mail application that could do it. It would need to be for PCs. I need to have some images that are on a web server linked in the email without attaching them. The kind of thing you would get from places like Outpost.com and Amazon.
I remember reading that in order to send an HTML email you needed to change the content type header.
Here you go:
Code:$from = "From: Your name <[email protected]>\r\nReturn-Path:[email protected] \r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"";
mail($to,$subject,$body,$from);
Cool.
Is there a program for PCs that can do the same thing?
Not to my knowledge but this is pretty straight forward? :)
Hi,
if you want your html mails to reach their destination (and not just some people using only outlook), have a look at these articles

I have found that 99.9 % of incoming html-only mails (especially if they are base64 encoded) are just spam. The remainder comes from scripts whose authors do not know any better

Hmmmmmm, Musicman does the way i'm doing it get seen as spam?
Hi,
I am using a text-only mail program, so when I get a html-only mail, the program shows two buttons, one to open the browser and one to delete. Which one would you prefer? :)
