sending HTML emails / SciBit ASP Mailer

I am sending out emails which are supposed to be in html format, but somehow they arrive as plain text. Has anyone used ASP Mailer (SciBit soft) for that purpose? Or is it possible to make mass mailings with CDONTS?
Thank you in advance.

VadimVadim,

I recommend you to used CDONTS mail. It's much easier and free to use. ;o)
The below is my code snippet for you :-

<%@Language=VBSCRIPT %>
<%

Set mail= server.CreateObject("cdonts.newmail")

mail.subject="Thank You for Registering bla..bla.."
mail.to = "friendEmail@domain.com"
mail.from = "yourEmail@domain.com"
mail.BodyFormat = 0
mail.MailFormat = 0

mail.body= "<html><head><title>" &_
"Testing CDONTS Mail</title>"&_
"bla..bla.. normal HTML tag can be used."

mail.send
Response.Write "The mail has been Send successfully"
%>

The above example was tested. It is running succesfully.

Hope this help,

mugun

If they are arriving in plain text it is due to the client side mail reader, that is of course if your messages are being sent as both HTML or Text format...

I use something like this;

strBody = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"">" & vbCrLf _
& "<html>" & vbCrLf _
& "<head>" & vbCrLf _
& " <title>"&thePos&" Position</title>" & vbCrLf _
& " <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"">" & vbCrLf _
& "</head>" & vbCrLf _
& "<body bgcolor=""#000080"" style=""font-family : verdana, arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color : #ffffff;"">" & vbCrLf _
& fName&",<p>" & vbCrLf _
& vbCrLf _
& "This message is a follow-up to the <b>"&thePos&"</b> position which you previously applied for " &theComp&".  " & vbCrLf _
& "</body>" & vbCrLf _
& "</html>" & vbCrLf

Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

With objCDO
.To = strTo
.From = strFrom
.Subject = strSubject
.HtmlBody = strBody
.Send
End With
Set objCDO = Nothing
