asp_web_howto thread: HTML-enabled Email Application


Message #1 by "Deborah Kopp" <LatteDeborahK@a...> on Sat, 15 Mar 2003 19:17:35
Good Morning!

I need some help with an application I am building.  I have a VB program 
which sends out email using the Outlook object.  Within the application, 
there is a function which goes out to our website and strips out the 
innerHTML and returns the string which then becomes the body for the email.

Everything works fine on all clients except AOL.  I've done a lot of 
research on MIME types and supposedly AOL 6.0 - 8.0 can read text/HTML or 
multipart alternative.  But when I send the email, this is not the case, I 
am only getting unformatted text (and I am using version 8.0).

Even if I send the simplest test page with a link like:
<a href=thispage.asp>TEST</a>   it comes through AOL just as text, NO 
hyperlink.

Any help or direction anyone can provide would be greatly appreciate!

Sincerely,
Deborah
