asp_cdo thread: CDONTS- HTML vs. Text - How to link?

Dear all,
I've been using CDONTS email for a while now and find it's straightforward
and easy to use. I'm now creating a new site and would like to use HTML
based email. The question is:
Does most of the world use email programs that support HTML or am I going
to lose out on a significant number of people?
If I stick with text, can anyone tell me how to create a link with CDONTS?
(What happens now is that when I write something
like "http://www.whatever.com" in the body and you click it, there is no
link to the site.)
Thanks,
Joseph

You should be alright, the majority of email packages do support HTML.
However, not everyone wants to receive HTML emails, for example if they
have
an old computer or a very slow connection. Your best bet will be to
provide
them with an option.

If your worried about those who do not support HTML email...you can use
AspEmail....in version 4.5 you can submit your email both in HTML and plain
text. Allowing those who support HTML to view as HTML and those who do not
will see your alternate plain text version...
see http://www.aspemail.com
