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 (not
necessarily the emails that come from my site, but HTML emails I've sent her
directly with my OE), have worked OK.
I can't figure it out. I've checked the headers in the emails I've sent her
where it came out as plain text (she forwarded them back to me), and the
"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" line is present, so it's not a
missing header line.
Has anyone else experienced these problems and come to know why they happen?
thanks,

That sounds like a frequently experienced mail() function bug. In that
case you may want to try this class that comes with several workarounds
for some of the mail() function problems.
It also comes with thorough support to properly compose and send HTML
messages possibley with embedded images, alternative plain text parts
for users with non-HTML capable mail programs, attachements, etc.. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

A client I`m working for want to be able to send multiple emails to
customers of their own. I have developed a simple app to accomplish this,
but the application has a few flaws and I`m looking for some help/advice.
The current setup is like this:
- Read emails from db
- Send a mail to each address in a foreach
This generates a lot of trafic and load on the server.

If I pause the SMTP service I can see mails queuing up from the .vbs

when it creates the object.
Could this be a permissions problem? No IIS settings have...

Hi all
I'm sending email via ASP.NET in HTML mode. Each email has exactly one
attachment and I do have full access to the SMTP server. However, if I
send the email in HTML format, the framework reports the following
exception:
"System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. --->

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,...
