Windows Email HTML client needed...
Hi,
I need an email client for Win2k which allows you to compose HTML mail AND allows you to view/edit the source (because I need to import an HTML file as the message body).
I've tried Outlook and Eudora and neither does it right. Outlook Express DOES let you do the above, but somehow limits the size of the mail (chops off some of the source).
Urgently need some pointers!!
(yes, yes, I'm usually against HTML emails, but this is a special case)
Cheers,
M.

Re: Windows Email HTML client needed...
If you want to compose an HTML in an external editor, and then drop it into a
mailer, you should use NS7.02
Later NS mailers (and Thunderbird, etc) make all the images into attachments,
rather than just linking to them (the images are hosted on a local server).
The only problem with NS7.02 is that it rewrites some of the code. Nothing too
drastic, but enough to mess up the layout a little.
I was thinking of writing a little app in PHP where you can paste in the HTML,
select who to send it to, and voila! But that would be my very last resort.
So, anybody ever used an HTML mailer that doesn't add everything as an
attachment, and doesn't rewrite your code? You'd think it wouldn't be too much
to ask!
M.

Re: Windows Email HTML client needed...
as much as silly suggestion it is.. you could create the document in word edit the source therein and use r the email option
alternatively yes just write you own.. only takes 2 minutes

What do you want it to do?
Take e-mail address, subject, current date, priority flag and an html body as input, and rattle off the mail? Or do pretty much the same thing, but sending to all addresses in a db table?

The former to start with, I can easily tie it in later with my table of subscribers... cheers!

Re: Windows Email HTML client needed...
Orkey dorkey.
I'll throw in the sexeh "check that MX records exist for the alleged e-mail domain before invoking the mail() function" thing too.
I'll do it when I get home from work (about an hour).

Re: Windows Email HTML client needed...
If only Mong had not disabled emails via forum, or had some kind of linkage on his profile, he could be using the v1.0 release of MongMail by now.

Re: Windows Email HTML client needed...
Personally I use CDO within vbscripts to do the job.
You can also create an outlook custom form with code which invokes inserting the html into the message body on send - if it is only one off messages - this said presumably you'd send to a distribution list of subscribers.
