OT: Re: [IMail Forum] Sending HTML email from ASP or VB code

[darrell_list]

You need to set the content type property to html.  It defaults to text.  
Also, on an ASP page you should use Server.CreateObject instead of just 
CreateObject. 

Mailer.ContentType = "text/html"

I'm attempting to send an HTML-formatted email from a Visual Basic 6.0
module or VBScript on an ASP page using the following code, and can
successfully send text-formatted mail, but if I send it HTML code it will
send this plain text rather than in HTML format. Can anyone tell me how to
change the code, or the IMail settings, to send HTML formatted mail? 

The various str items, such as strMailBody, are variables receiving
appropriate text up above where this is called. 

Thank you, 

JB 

        Dim Mailer As Object
        Const smtpMailHost = "mydomainname.com"
        ' call mail object
        Set Mailer = CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
        Mailer.RemoteHost = smtpMailHost 

        ' set up message
        Mailer.FromAddress = strFromEmail
        Mailer.fromName = strFromName
        Mailer.AddRecipient strToName, strToEmail
        If strCCEmail <> "" Then
            Mailer.AddCC strCCName, strCCEmail
        End If 

        Mailer.Subject = strSubject
        Mailer.BodyText = strMailBody 

        Mailer.SendMail
        Set Mailer = Nothing
