email html format

Use MS Outlook and choose "always send to this recipient in rich text format".

I think Outlook express also can do it.

This function works for most UNIX systems:


############################################################
# Sending mail function
# Parameters:
#  send_mail( recipient, mail from, subject, message content);
############################################################
sub send_mail()
{
   local($to, $from, $subj, $html_content) = @_;

   open(MAIL,"|/usr/lib/sendmail -t");

   print MAIL "To: $to\n";
   print MAIL "From: $from\n";
   print MAIL "Content-type: text/html\n";
   print MAIL "Subject: $subj\n\n";

   print MAIL "$html_content";

   close (MAIL);
}

To finish, I this necessary because, as you will notice, the source in the end is not just simple html  Links, Sources, Accents and many other things have their own little oddities like the '3D' for links.  I have yet to find a modual that does the coding for you and sendmail doesn't seem to do it either so... here's the long answer.  Just reject it if you find something simpler that works (and let me know for the next time).
