The revMail command is the same as calling a MailTo URL and so that technique is limited by the email client's implementation of MailTo which don't support the passing of HTML.

The best I have found is this ...

... which works. It just requires you to setup and use Thunderbird because that client includes a little helper app inside the package that accepts additional parameters.

I too would appreciate other suggestions. Please share !

Note that the other way to go is to get one of the SMTP libraries and communicate directly with the server. In that case, you assemble everything (eg the MIME type) and send it over. Authentication can be a challenge.

Hi all.

I am trying to compile some basic table data and create an email with that table in the 
body, however, I am running into the whole tab stop issue where any data that extends 
beyong the default tab stop causes all the "columns" to move to the right.

So I thought I would try to embed the table as HTML, but of course the HTML 
shows up as HTML in the body, and not the rendered version. So how can I embed 
the HTML in the body in such a way so as to have the table data rendered as an 
html table?

I am prepared to hear "You cannot do that."

Bob S
