Dan, CDONTS - free with NT/2000 Server - isn't the most robust mail object but for a few hundred messages it's very likely all you need. You almost certainly don't need an object like the one a list member scurried to promote to you.
You would typically create a text version of your message and then paste it into an HTML page maker (such as MS Frontpage, but simpler/cheaper/free such products abound) to create an HTML version of your message. Basic HTML layout and image tags will go through OK, but if you try to get fancy with objects or inline script many recipients' mail servers will get nervous and strip your message. Then, with a procedure containing about 10 lines of VBScript code you can send your message to either a text recipient or an HTML recipient. You would loop through your list of email addresses and associated text/html flags and call this little procedure for each recipient. I can send you code if you want it.

Right now we are using netscape messenger and templates (different template for each day). This would all have to be done at the workstation we send from though, not software on a mail server. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Timby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 11:55 AM To: ActiveServerPages Subject: RE: semi OT HTML in email -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dan, you should check out our product at: www.exacttarget.com we have done all this investigating for you, and packaged it in a powerful, easy to use program.
