Hello,
I would like to make an application that can send e-mails to
someone when it's his/her birthday. The text can be styled.
As the Language Reference states, an EmailMessage object has
these useful properties:
BodyPlainText
BodyEnriched
BodyHTML
BodyEnriched today isn't that common. If you need to support OS 9,
you probably
should use Enriched.
Hmm... OS 9 is to be considered. Do you advise me to use Enriched
for OS 9 anyway?
Well, I missed the point, that OS 9 supports PlainText too. In case
you would like to
send OS 9 friendly styles email, you need to support EnrichedText.
All modern mail clients should be able to read PlainText and HTML
- while HTML might
get marked by certain filters more likely as spam.
So, since I want to send styled mails, I have to use HTML that will
be considered as spam. Well, that's a shame.
So, how does one send styled mails that aren't spam?
You simply can't.
Spam filters follow certain rules which aren't predictable in general.
I claimed, that HTML email is more likely to get marked as spam, but
PlainText might
get marked too.
You should finish your application orderly and conform to email's RFC
definitions.
Then you are - in general - on the safe way. If emails get marked,
this is mainly
related to their contents._______________________________________________
