Hello,
DOes anyone have a recommendation for some free code to send out
HTML-formatted emails? The code does not have to be cross-browser
compatible.
Thanks for any advice, - Dave

I don't know of any software that could help you, but any HTML that is
sent out *MUST* be cross-browser compatible. Not every user uses
Microsoft's Virus Express (aka. Outlook Express). Many use Mozilla,
Thunderbird, Opera, Lotus Notes, Apple Mail, etc... or web based such as
Hotmail, Yahoo and GMail. So, DON'T ever make the mistake of thinking
it doesn't have to be compatible.
This ALA article may help a little. It discusses the creation of CSS
styled, HTML emails, though it doesn't mention any software used to send it. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssemail/

Be aware that many people refuse to accept HTML in emails.

Yes. Don't, unless the recipients have requested it. You're going to
see more and more users rejecting HTML e-mail, due to security issues.
There's also the issue of people who prefer to run text-only e-mail
software. The best thing to do is to send personalized text with links
to your boilerplate.

One thing that could be done is sending the mails in a multipart format
(both text/plain and html versions embedded) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I am generating a HTML formatted email in PHP, but I am getting the
most bizarre error, it will randomly delete characters out of the HTML
code while in transit to the address, therefore generating errors in
the final output.
For instance, a "</td>" tag will become "/td>" or a URL will end in
".co.k", missing the "u". This seems to happen totally randomly from
one try to the next throughout the code.

I have a web form where a client can select which site members to send
an email to.
This form is populated from the contents of the member table, so the
form can have 0-x names listed on it depending on member expiration dates.
When the form is submitted, the code loops through the form contents and
sends an email to those members that meet the selected criteria.
All this worked perfectly when I was sending text emails, but since I

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.
