Well, Wayne, I followed your simple instructions and it worked fine. I
was being over-complex about it by trying to put different
local$httpheaders in.
I put the multipart/alternative; boundary="alternative_boundary" line
in the WiTango Mail action option where text or html are the usual
options
added the --alternative_boundary
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline
to the custom header just as it is
then the plain text email and then at the bottom of the custom header
after the plain text email
--alternative_boundary
Content-type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline
and the html email in the email body field
and it works perfectly.
I've also noticed that my mail prog recognises it is a multipart and
allows me to switch back and forth between versions for that email.
Cool.
thanks

Have you had experience with creating dual format emails? I use mainly
HTML emails, but want to create a dual format. Now I know that the

properly - I receive the html version fine but the plain text version
displays as well and isn't formatted correctly (all strung together).
I suspect it is the difference between Content-Type: text/html;
charset="iso-8859-1" and Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
What should the Content-Type be set at. Do you have an example of a
Ours looks something like this:
Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="alternative_boundary"

It appears your e-mail client does not support HTML.
