asp_cdo thread: email text, html


Message #1 by dont worry <aspmailbox@y...> on Thu, 25 Oct 2001 11:05:15 -0700 (PDT)
I want to allow users to select if they want emails

sent in html or plain text.  I have the email message

in a database table that is sent.  What is the best

way to get this done?

Thank you

I hold a flag on the database set to "HTML" or "plain".

Your users need to be able to set this flag.

I also hold the text of the e-mail in two different formats on the 

database, HTML text and plain text.

I then use an ODBC link to read the database via an ASP page.



To send the e-mail:



set myMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

myMail.From = FromPerson

myMail.To = ToPerson

myMail.subject = Subject

myMail.MailFormat = 0 

If TextFlag = "HTML" then

    myMail.BodyFormat = 0

    myMail.Body = HTMLText

else

    myMail.BodyFormat = 1

    myMail.Body = PlainText

end if

myMail.Send

set myMail = Nothing
