ah yes i received your comment, thx u
yes i know of the CDONTS object, and i guess i need to correct my
original statement then: i need for the program to work under iis60 and
to the best of my knowledge CDONTS is not available under iis60 (i found
that frustrating actually to say the least)
i believe there is another server object under iis60, but my initial
quick look at the related docs showed that it was much more complicated
to create a email object - i could be wrong, thought - i was looking for
a quick simple way to do this, as it was possible with CDONTS
anyway, thx, but i need to repost my question with the requirement that
it must work under iis60 (that's the production server actually)

hello everyone:
i have a web site built using vbasic active server scripting running on
iis (it works on either iis 50 and 60, but is designed for iis 50)
i know how to create a plain text email by creating a text file, with
content following certain format, and saving that file into the correct
'..\mailroot\pickup' folder, and it is working fine
what i would like to know is how to create and send an email in html
format from my server script
i will appreciate anyone who can tell me where to find instructions on
how to do this
thank you much in advance

You can send email messages in HTML format with the SMTP service
(CDONTS) or MS Exchange. However beware that not all mail clients will
display it properly.
By default, CDONTS sends its emails in plain-text format. With
HTML-formatted email, however, we can do all sorts of neat stuff, such
as having different fonts, italics, colored text, embedded-images, etc.
