Hi Everyone I'm new to this discussion list, although a somewhat seasoned user of The Bat! and computers in general. If this message is real long, I apologize. I'm profilic like that.
I tried finding the answer to this already by reading the FAQs and searching through the message archives, yet was unable to find exactly what I'm looking for. I want the ability to send an email with HTML stuff in it. Basically I'm wanting to create a Newsletter of sorts so I want to have all the pretty formatting and the option for pictures (although I won't allow 'web bugs'). When I read the FAQ at the silverstones website, the answer wasn't completely clear for me. Create an HTML document in your favourite editor, attach the file in a new message in TB!, export the message, doctor the header and import the message back in. This is what I did: Created the HTML document in Evrsoft First Page 2000 (excellent freeware HTML editor, btw!). Created a new message in TB!, attached my new HTML document, Saved the message (saved in Outbox). I then went to the Outbox, clicked on the message and did a Save As.. so I could save it as a .MSG. I opened the .MSG in Notepad, changed multipart/mixed to multipart/alternative. Saved the file. And then .. how do I Import the message? I double-clicked the file and it loaded into TB! message viewer. I then did a Re-Direct on it and sent it to myself to test it. When I received the message back, it came back with the HTML document as an attachment. Yet, when I use Netscape to compose an HTML message and send it to me, the HTML message isn't an 'attachment', it's part of the message. The reason I need the HTML message to not be an attachment is because the List Server I will be using attaches some important stuff to the bottom of the Newsletter - such as Unsubscribe information. It does not attach this information to the bottom of an attachment. Does anyone know if it's possible to send an HTML message with TB! the way I want it done? Am I even importing the message into TB! properly? -- - Alan Poulton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said,'Thyroid problem?'
