I found an interesting article on Site point a while ago... lemme look.

/me walks off to find his Bookmarks...

Dig around on there some more--they have other articles about AOL email newsletters, etc.

thanks dan. this helps but i'm still having the same prob, everything comes thru as text and not as the actual coded page... :confused:

chris

Make sure you set your mime type/subtype to Text/Html...

I think the entry in the header is:
Content-type: text/html;

What app/language are you using to send out the email?

thanks, i'll give that a shot. trying a few different things now, trying Mail (OSX mail) as well as web-based.

chris

turns out that Mail can't send html mail, and yahoo and other web-based e-mail seem to not allow formatting on OSX either.

solution? thunderbird i created the page then just attached a web page when sending, works perfectly in everything we've seen it on so far...
