Sarah, Mikey, or anyone?
Say, I know this question gets asked a lot. I have been searching the
mailing list, downloading stacks, etc., but haven't found the exact
answer so pardon me for asking it again! The closest thing was Mikey's
post. (below)
The question is, how to send an HTML email message. Or rather, a nicely
formatted message. Same thing I guess. I think the revMail command is
awesome, but, the plain text message body looks kinda ugly for the
message I have in mind, and, although I could write a CGI script and
work out all the plumbing (actually I have done this before, a la
Sivakatirswami), I'd rather find a stack like Sarah's that is already
done and talks directly to the mail server without the CGI piece. Am I
lazy, well, ,maybe so, I just don't want to reinvent the wheel when it's
been done. Plug and go! I have enough plumbing to create as it is.
I am pretty hopeful someone has modified Sarah's stack or has something
ready to go that will send HTML mail and can be grafted onto one's rev
app. Yes?? Are you willing to share, whoever you are? Fingers
crossed, and, Mahalo!
Sadhu
ps, the post below was good but refers to stuff I didn't find yet, eg,
"as previously suggested' etc. I can keep looking though.

I've got other things that I have to do tonight, so I can't give you
the complete cookbook, but here is the outline.
1) Download one of the following stacks:
a) http://www.gadgetplugins.com/altplugins/altEmailHarness.rev
b) http://www.troz.net/Rev/libraries/*SMTP**library*.rev.gz
<http://www.troz.net/Rev/libraries/SMTPlibrary.rev.gz>
2) After looking through the *SMTP* *Library* Demo (the second one), and
clicking on the *Library* button, I got into Sarah's *SMTP* *library*. I'm
sure this works just as well with the other, but as I said, I've got
other pressing things to do tonight. However, you should be able to
figure it out after this.
3) Search for "Content-Type". Change it as I've previously suggested.
4) Follow my formatting suggestions for the body.
5) Send *HTML*-formatted emails without having to embed the *HTML* in an
attachment.
