Hi I've been diving into the SMTP RFC and have come up with some interesting information about sending Email Messages. (I'm starting to believe that reading some essential RFC's is required in order to know what you're programming)
An email message contain both Html as Plain text they are seperated by a message boundary, which is also used to define Attachments. The user email client (even webmail) should seperate the message into a number of parts: 1) Header field 2) Html content (if availible) 3) Plain Text Content (if availible) 4) Attachments (seperate per variable number of attachments) All this will also be addressed in the docs for my pop3 component Having said this, I presume that any SMTP component can send Html Content as wel as Plain Text . If not, I will see it as my duty to create a SMTP component after i finish my pop3 component docs.
