Re: [FreeTrade] Formating customer email receipts

[Leon Atkinson]

Formatting emails is a wash, anyway, since many people use variable-width
fonts.

In order to send HTML emails, you have to send a MIME header.  And you have
to package the content according to MIME.  It's somewhat convoluted.  It's
the same concept as sending attachments.  It's well-covered in books (even
mine) and on the Web, so you should be able to figure out how to do it.

As with many things, HTML emails usually work fine on Windows and not as
well on Macs, Linux or whatever.  As far as I know, there's no way to send
someone a message that auto-detects whether their client can handle HTML
emails.
