sending a list of emails from a webform

I need to send a large list of emails from a webform by clicking a single
button. Microsoft's documentation for coding this seems straight forward
and I'm about to begin experimenting with their sample code (VB.NET). I
would like to know if it is possible to use HTML to format
the emails as opposed to just text, i.e. use a picture for the header,
specify fonts, bold text, center text etc. all from information stored in a
database.
Any examples or suggestions appreciated!
Thanks
Steven.

I normally use the SmtpMail class from the .Net framework. It can handle
HTML mails too. Just check out the MSDN help, it contains some good
examples. But its nothing complicated anyway.

I'm creating HTML emails from a PHP site and sending them out to an email list (just about 40 people so far are on this list). I've tested and confirmed that these emails work in yahoo.com's webmail. And I know they work on *my* Outlook Express. But I have one person (I know of) who gets the emails as plain text, so she sees the HTML code for the email instead of its proper representation. She has, like myself, OE6, and other html emails...

I have an exchange server, that I sometimes use to perform mail shots to clients on our database, these can be upwards of 1000 at a time. As we don't want different clients to see who we are working with we put these mailshots in the bcc field of the mails. This can sometimes cause a problem as we are getting alot of mails bounced back. I would like to write a script to have these emails sent out individually using the to: field of the...

Hello, A few weeks ago I sent a post about sending encrypted emails. I found out how to encrypt such emails using .NET, but now there is another step: How to receive them? Let's say I have sent an encrypted email using SHA1 from a WebForm. What kind of software should a user have on his/her desktop to decrypt this message?

Hello, I am sending two emails from the same procedure, one to myself (while testing) and another (a comfirmation) to the user on the website. I was having difficulty finding a relay server to SMTP though, but was able to do this though one of my personal account, Cabbage.Org. It doesn't make any sense to me why this works and no other account, including localhost and the remote server which hosts the website. Here is a code snippet...

Hello, I am new to coding in vb.net and have run into an issue with some code that I am looking over. This is a webform that is filled out and once it is filled out, it takes the responses from the form and appends it to an email which it then sends out to one specific user (for testing purposes, it's sending to me). My problem is that the code somehow is sending two identical emails to me. I am almost certain that the code looks ok,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
